This Wired article should be treated as the bible (+ quaran + kabbalah +
bhagavad ghita and what have you..) of the eCars - Now! community:

"This is the headquarters of Local Motors, the first open source car
company to reach production."

+ We absolutely need to connect with them. Not any hurry though.

Read this article. It's a wealth of info and links to new tools.
Really upbeat, really promising.

Hi Jiri!

Many people from Latvia are asking, is there any written manual how to
rebuild car in their own garage?

Best regards,

Kaspars

For eCorolla...
There are now efforts put in to this. We aim to have documentation for
schools ready by summer this year. They are not intended to be OS
since it involves certain heavy costs we need to cover (a DVD
included). Any school can buy the set to support the education on EVs.
You can contact me off list and I will give more details how to buy
and when.

I believe there will be OS docs available too as the 1st eCorolla gets
it's inspection done and all components are final for this set up.

There are several general conversion manuals available. Google them
out. At least "Convert it" is one famous one.

Regards
Jukka
