MY REVIEW BUILD AN ELECTRIC CAR
Build your own electric car, is that possible ? read on to find out how
First off, you will need a large DC motor and a source of batteries. Note that AC motors can be used as well but they are a bit more expensive.
You can, of course buy all these parts brand new but this is the heaviest cost of the whole project so we suggest using the sources of free DC motors and free industrial batteries listed in the plans.
They’re not hard to find either and since a DC motor will run for probably longer than you will own your car, using salvaged motors makes sense. Your car will rust out from under you before the motor gives up.
We wanted to keep the costs down and figured this was a great way to do it.
After obtaining your DC motor and batteries, you have to remove your engine from your car. Rent a hoist or find a friendly mechanic to lift it out for your. Loosening a few bolts and wiring, radiator and pipes and you can lift it out ..
Leave the clutch and flywheel assembly and detach the rest, hey hold on ! this is all explained in the software you are buying.
It is important that you only use a gear shift vehicle for your conversion as automatic transmissions won’t work. Once the conversion is done you won’t even have to shift gears in traffic, it will drive just like an automatic transmission. Put it in gear and go. When you stop, the engine simply stops too. It doesn’t keep idling, requiring clutching like a gas engine.
The accelerating ability takes some getting used to as it takes off very fast. This is no slow golf cart you are building .
Your new electric car will be able to go at least +- 50 mph and travel up to +-100 miles on a single charge. You can take a charger with you and recharge the battery's from any AC plug.
