The electric car around for a very long time, but the public was not built entirely on the purchase because it was too expensive. In addition, batteries, and was not very efficient energy storage, which makes electric cars, but nothing more than expensive toys for adults. Now that there is tremendous strides and progress in technology and some of the problems experienced by the electric car had been directed, increasingly people once again became interested in the purchase or possession of 1 EV. Add to that the high cost of fuel today, and call that a double electric car.
But electric cars are usually more expensive than petrol cars. The main reason is the cost of the batteries. But seeing the savings in fuel costs more than pay for the initial cost of owning an electric car if.
If you are one of these amateurs do it yourself, then you're lucky. And how to build an electric car does not require you to put in another mortgage on your home so you can save on fuel costs. Now you can do a lot of things to convert the old car to the electric car and enjoy the savings. Home electric vehicles are the projects built easy you can do.
The first thing you must have a car. Choose a small car light to this project, which is heavier cars will consume more energy. You must save the battery.
Make sure that the car that you are also in good condition. Remember, you convert the car's fuel in the electric car. You are not a restoration. So be careful with costs.
Remove the parts that are related to gasoline internal combustion system. This will include the radiator, cooling tank and fuel lines and filter, engine, starter, radiator, gas tank, exhaust and muffler, and cat, and nothing else you can think of.

I want to drive a car on the roads safe for you and your loved ones.
Maintain the transmission of the car that we can use to deliver energy to the electric motor to the wheels of the car. Make the "adapter plate" on a piece of aluminum plate with holes aligned with the corresponding transmission and the end of each motor. It is best to work with a machinist with this part, because they will know more about cars than you can even cut the shape and size to fit your vehicle. Must be the center of the drive shaft of the cars and the center of the shaft-driven transmission lines up perfectly. Design coupler that connects mechanically drive shafts two before bolting cars and transmit it to the adapter plate.
Pay attention to the obstacle. This is a way to connect to the power of the electric motor for power transmission in the car. There are a number of ways to do so. Choose a place that will work well for your car.
