Synopsis

This book will show you how you can convert a gasoline-powered compact car or van to a clean-running, cheap-running electric car for a total materials cost of about $1,500. This car will travel at speeds up to 55-60 MPH, with a range between battery charges of at least 50 miles.

Not only a step-by-step manual but a thorough discussion of all the components of electric vehicles, this book covers batteries, motors, drive trains, chargers, and control systems, helping you decide the type of parts to buy for the driving performance you want.

You don't have to be an engineer or professional mechanic to do the work explained in this book. Anyone with average mechanical ability can do the job. There is even a chapter detailing ready-to-drive electric cars made in the past by manufacturers.
