How To Make Electric Car




Nowadays, cars are powered by electric; a change from the Stone Age errand of gasoline engines. The benefit of electric car is huge; ranging from being environmental friendly, to saving money for the families for other expenses. I know that the big question on your now mind is “HOW CAN I MAKE MY OWN ELECTRIC CAR”?

Let me start my saying it is not a difficult task.

First, what do you need to begin?

• Simple tools found in any household workshop- saws, drills, wrenches etc.
• A place to work- shop, garage, barn or even outside is fine
• Detailed electric car plans

Before you get started you will need a vehicle to do the conversion with. I say conversion because any vehicle will work for this project, but some are better than others. Gas or diesel doesn't matter as you will be removing the engine anyway, and everything related to fuel and exhaust.

Your new electric car will produce no fumes either. We think that’s great.

You will need a vehicle with a standard transmission though. Automatic transmissions just don’t work with electric motors for cars.

Don’t worry; you won’t have to learn how to drive a standard though if you don’t know how. Your electric car will drive just like an automatic. Just put it in gear and drive. It’s that easy, no shifting in town at all.

When you pull up to the stop light for instance, the electric motor just stops. It’s all explained in detail in the electric car plans.

Your new electric car will have great acceleration too. We were amazed at how fast it was off the line in town.
Your electric car will be able to go 50 mph and have an effective range up to 200 miles on a single charge depending on your choice of vehicles and your driving habits.

We kind of lean towards using small trucks now that we have done 3 conversions ourselves. Small trucks like the older Toyota Tacoma (around 1995 or so) offer a lot of room for battery placement. They are light and strong too, a perfect combination for this project.

Small cars work well too, but offer fewer options for battery placement.
Our best range vehicle is actually our Toyota Corolla, well over 200 miles between charges.

This is not a difficult project either although you will need a helper at times. Those extra hands when you are attaching the DC motor are needed.

How much does it cost?

You can build your own electric car for only a few hundred dollars (including the cost of the detailed plans). If you use the sources of free batteries and free DC motors found in the electric car plans you can keep the cost down to a very reasonable level.

“By setting aside a small portion of your income each month, you can accumulate an amount of money over the years. This accumulated cash can help you, your family, or your business meet life’s challenges with confidence”- Jack B. Roots and Douglass L. Mortensen.

Imagine the first time you drive by a gas station while others are filling up. Did you know that gas is expected to reach $10 per gallon next year?

Electric Car Conversion - Batteries

Batteries are indispensable to electric car conversion ; some regard it as the heart of the whole process. I cannot help but agree with them totally. For this fact, the need for special kind of battery called deep cycle battery cannot be comprise. This kind of battery ensures that your electric car work properly. Deep cycle battery is simply amazing, its ability to charge quickly and discharge further then regular car batteries normally found in your vehicle now. Pic-Batteries? This system in the deep cycle battery, picture it as water pouring out of a glass. Every day battery can only pour about $10 of the water out; on the other hand, deep cycle battery can pour or discharge down 30% or so. Do not go down lower than 30% though, topping up a battery that is to the 70% level is as low as you go. What can l get deep cycle batteries? Having lived off the grid for over 10 years now and have been living with battery systems to run our home for that long. The batteries used in wi...

Applications Of Deep Cycle Batteries

Storage batteries are these days used for a great variety and range of purposes, some of which are below. 1.    In central stations for supplying the whole load during light load periods, also to assists the generating plant during peak load periods, for providing reserve emergency supply during periods of plant breakdown and finally, to store energy at times when load is light for use at time when load is at its peak value.

Focus On Adaptors And Chargers

The adaptor plate attaches the electric motor to the formal manual transmission and clutch. Adaptors are precision machined ready from for install, once it is ordered. If you cannot wait to start YOUR OWN ELECTRIC CONVERSION: I employ you to Click Here NOW! The adaptor is comprises of four different parts, the transmission profile plate made from aluminium, and mimics which provides the main mounting surface. Another type is the motor spacer ring made of aluminium; it attaches to profile plate and recreates the formal spacing between the flywheel and transmission. Having acquired good deep cycle batteries, the charging system is worth to be given all attention to, so as not to shorten the life span of the batteries. Early version of charges only forced voltage in the batteries until turn off by the owner. This action will cause the battery bank to gas toward the end of the charging process, and shortened its life span. In what seem like advancement in battery charging system,...
