Electric Car Conversion Kit – How to Build Your Own Electric Powered Car!

Jim M. Watson asked:


An electric car conversion kit can be used to convert your current vehicle to run on electricity. There are many reasons for the increasing popularity of electric powered cars:

You can eliminate your gas bill completely and save hundreds of dollars every month on gas costs. The IRS will give you tax credits for driving a clean fuel vehicle. You will only need about $1 to charge your electric car. You can drive for up to 150-200 miles on a single charge. You can reduce harmful emissions and protect the environment. You can reach speeds of 50 miles per hour. You can improve horsepower and get a better engine’s performance. You can start enjoying a smooth, quiet ride and reduce your maintenance costs.

The major advantage of an electric powered vehicle is not only that it can increase your fuel efficiency, but also it doesn’t contribute to the greenhouse effect and is completely environmentally-friendly.

Paying an auto-shop to make the conversion will cost at least 3,000 dollars, but if you decide to do it yourself it will only cost a few hundred dollars.

The first thing you need to do is take out the internal combustion engine and replace it with an electric motor. Some other parts you are going to need are: a power controller, miscellaneous nuts and bolts, rechargeable batteries, fuses and power conductors. These parts are easily available at your local hardware and are usually very cheap.

Most cars can be converted to run on electricity, but the best vehicles to retrofit are the light weight ones, which have enough space for batteries.

There are many diy on the market that can provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to build your own electric powered car.

Do you want to save more than $1,000 on gas per year, every year?

Every day people just like you are using this technology to convert their vehicles.

Nick Earl asked:


Electric car conversion kits are growing in popularity extremely fast. No doubt, most people are starting to realize the seriousness of the situation with the economy and also with rising fuel costs. It’s now becoming quite evident that the cost of fuel will continue to rise and will not drop at all in the future. This is backed by scientific proof that we are now over 50% through the world’s Peak oil supplies.

So what’s the solution? Well the solution is pretty obviously to find alternative ways of fueling our transport and other parts of everyday life. There are a few different options when it comes to alternatives, there is the option to cease using motorized transport altogether, which is highly debatable in terms of being realistic in today’s society, then there is the option of running previously gasoline powered vehicles on hydrogen extracted from water, and finally there is the option of using electricity as a means of fueling engines and other systems.

The problem with hybrid technology in the past, was that it was far too expensive for most people. The only way in which you could use hybrid technology for your own vehicle was to buy a brand-new hybrid car, costing upwards of $25,000. This was very expensive for most people and therefore not an option.

The great thing is now, that many people have worked out how to convert their existing engines to run on electricity as a hybrid. This has been refined, and it is now possible to convert your car to run on electricity using basic parts which can be sourced locally in most cases. This can be achieved by investing in a process guide that will teach you exactly what parts you need, where to get them, and how to put them together to create a hybrid system for your own vehicle.

So providing the you are interested in carrying out this process, and converting your car to run on electric, how can you find the best information on how to achieve the process?

How do you wind an electric car window up?

Tony M asked:


The electric window to one side of the car has gone dead. It is now stuck in the down position but the other window side works fine though.

I checked both fuse locations inside the car and hood but none of them have fuses for the windows.

I’ve even checked the car manual and there’s nothing about window fuses or how to get the darn thing up in situations like these.

I’ve even resorted to a pair of pliers to see if I could dislodge it. I’m all out of ideas – please help!
