Like many people today, you may be seeking an alternative to gasoline to power your car. Well, right now, the best way to power your car, believe it or not, is by using electricity!
Many people have already converted their car into an electric vehicle, and most of them have done it themselves! The process of changing a car to run on electricity is called electric car conversion. Now, if like me, you thought that you would need to be a car mechanic or PHD physicist to perform an electric car conversion, then you are in for a surprise. Thats because a superb step by step guide produced by Gas 2 Electricity shows us, the average human beings, how to convert a car ourselves, without the need for an expert.
How Do You Get Started Then?
First off, get Gas 2 Electricity's Step by Step Guide and read it Select a suitable workspace- a garage, shop or some similar place, or even your driveway
Get some tools - don't worry nothing specialist here, just some common tools available in most homes
Rope in a reliable helper for holding parts and lifting some heavy objects.
Almost any car can be converted, but some require more work than others. I have found that smaller, compact style cars are best for most conversions as they are relatively cheap, lightweight and have simpler systems. But remember, almost any vehicle can be converted to run on electricity. The guide contains a list of perfect cars for the job.
After finding the vehicle you'll need to take out the motor. Dont worry, this isn't as difficult a job as you might think, and again the guide comes to the rescue with a great set of step-by-step instructions. The smartest thing to do would be to visit a used car lot or even a junkyard and get a car without an engine in it - just make sure the body is sound and you're off to a flying start. Once your DC electric car conversion is complete you will be walking around with a big smile on your face, especially when you drive by a gas station without stopping. You will be able to get about 100-200 miles between charges and get top speeds of 65 mph - not bad for a free ride!
Since Gas Prices are on a steady rise, Don't you think it is time to do something? Gas2Electricity will teach you how to save money, the environment, and you will learn all there is to know about how to make your own electric car. Imagine having to never spend another dime on gasoline again. You can convert a car to electric this weekend.
