EV Conversion Cost Tracker

Current running total: R109919

Current running cost recovery: R7500

I’m just appending my costs as I go. I doubt I’ll use everything, so I’ll also add cost recovery line items as I sell stuff, or avoid regular car costs as I replace broken regular stuff with EV compatible stuff.
