The dawn of electric motoring is taking a little longer to gain traction than many hoped. But when it does, this is how we should be using the old pumps: repurposed as dog houses, amplifiers, bookshelves and coffee machines.

These pumps are, in fact, part of an art installation commissioned by Nissan to celebrate the launch of the all-electric Nissan Leaf in Australia. You can see all 40 of the things over on the official website, where you can vote for your favorite. Hands down, though, for me the winner is the guitar amp. What about you? [Nissan via Design Boom]
