  You’ve decided to learn electric car conversion and why not? With the continuous increase of gas prices and the threat of global warming due to pipe tail emissions, it’s only right that we look for gas alternatives. It’s not difficult to convert and build your own electric car, just think- no more fossil fuel expense ever again. You can also let a professional convert it for you, but it would cost about $4000 while doing your own conversion can cost you just a few hundred dollars.

  So, how do you start to build your own electric car? Read a lot of manuals and articles about car conversion, maybe you’ll get some good tips and advice you can use. Then, you’ll need a place big enough to work – home garage, shop, barn or even your driveway. Look for a reliable helper, maybe a friend or a family member, to hold tools and materials and to also help you out. Prepare common tools necessary – saw, wrenches, etc. Next, you need detailed plans of the process.

  You will need a vehicle to convert. Small cars or small trucks work best. There are a lot of second-hand cars that one can buy inexpensively. Sometimes, when the motor is out, you can even get it for free. This is perfect because you’re going to take out the motor anyway. The trick is to find a car that’s lightweight but has a big storage capacity. You will need around 20 batteries to reach optimum range of your electric car, which means, battery placement is very critical in this process.

  Converting a vehicle to electric is about balancing weight to its carrying capacity. There are a lot of places in the car in which to put batteries. Maximize the space, this way you can carry a good load too- whether passengers or cargo. Also, there are free sources of electric motors and batteries which can really keep the cost down. Conversion projects can be completed in just a week or two. Electric vehicles can travel over 50 mph and have a range of 200 miles between charges. It’s not slow as others perceived and the acceleration is just amazing.

  Fuel prices have been extremely unstable in the past couple of years, the retail price has only been increasing and never on the decrease, forcing many people to think of cutting down on the usage of their cars and finding other means of travel.
