Power to the People, Electric Cars Now! from Finland

Rather than build a brand new electric vehicle a Finish Non Profit Sähköautot - Nyt! (or Electric Cars - Now!) wants to give power to the people by inviting individuals and companies the world over to offer solutions for a kit to turn Toyota Corollas into electric cars.
The project will be viable if they find a minimum of 500 willing buyers.
Once a conversion kit is ready, they will match willing buyers with auto shops that can do the actual work.
Even though Electric Cars-Now! is focused on Finland, they invite people in other countries to emulate their project and start their own initiatives.

A twist on Crowdsourcing
