    Kind of a 'green' monster garage type show where Gadget makes EV conversions out of varioius cars. One of the guys drives a RAV4 EV with a big "Who Killed the Electric Car" decal on the back window.

    I just came across the show right in the middle of the conversion of a Camero. They screwed up connecting the batteries and just about burned the thing up.

    don't see any future episodes, this may have been the pilot I saw tonight.

    Ok, almost over, looks like the conversion was for one of the Red Hot Chili Peppers guys...they even did a burn-out pulling out of the shop.

    250V total battery capacity....looked sweet.

    The guy with the RAV4 was wearing a T-shirt with the same symbol as Darell uses for his avatar.
