This posting has a good overview on ROI for a SVO system and also dives into the hidden costs of SVO. http://www.websitetoolbox.com/tool/post/voconversionbasics/vpost?id=2461566

For those who want an automated system, check out my spreadsheet on SVO ROI Calculator spreadsheet (MS Excel format).

My name is Drew and let me welcome you to TheSmartDrive.com!

The Smart Drive is a blog and informational site created to provide information and resources about  sustainable energy vehicles.  Sustainable energy has become a hot topic across the world in modern times, and from my experience many people understand what sustainable energy, electric vehicles, and biodiesel are but don’t know what they can do with these technologies and where they can find information. This site is dedicated to providing information on sustainable energy for vehicles and other applications.  The internet is a wonderful encyclopedia of knowledge if you know where to look.  Here you will find links to resources to help you find exactly what you are looking for, or in most cases what you didn’t know you were looking for :-)

    Thanks for visiting!
