How to Make an Electric Car

Learning how to make an electric car is not as difficult as it may seem. If you have a reasonable amount of persistence and a few household tools you should be able to get the job done rather well.

Why would you want to learn how to make an electric car anyways? The reasons are quite simple- no more gas costs, and continued improvement of our environment, not to mention that you are going to save a lot of money.

What do you need to get started?

· Detailed plans on how to make an electric car
· A good helper, friends or family to lend a hand
· Garage, barn or shop to do the conversion, you can use your driveway too.
· Regular tools- cordless drill, saws, wrenches, maybe a socket set...

To get started you will need a vehicle to do the conversion on. We prefer to use small cars or trucks; they seem to work best as they are light yet strong. Balancing the need for batteries (usually about 20) and trying to fit cargo and passengers in too can be tricky, but the detailed plans had lots of suggestions for getting it right.

The batteries and other parts are not that hard to find either, we even found sources of free batteries and free DC motors that we could use too. That saved us a lot of money. After a couple weeks, well... we didn't work at it everyday or that hard either we finally got our EV car conversion done.

We remember the first time we drove by a gas station after we did our conversion. It was so nice to not have to stop and pay for expensive gasoline any more. Did you know that gas prices are expected to top $7 per gallon by the end of next year? Isn't it time you did your own electric car conversion?

How To Make An Electric Car is the place to start to learn how to save money and the environment, you will learn all there is to know about how to make your own electric car.

Our family has been living off the grid since last year, and loving every minute of it. Learning how to make an electric car has helped us tremendously.
