An electric vehicle is actually quite simple. Golfers have been driving around in an electric golf cart in the green. An electric vehicle on the road is no different. What you will need are batteries to supply the power and an electric motor to generate torque to move the car. The idea is to replace the internal combustion engine with the electric motor while using some of the existing drive train such as the gearing and clutch system.
To control the amount of electricity current going to the motor, you would use an electric regulator. The regulator acts as the accelerator pedal of a conventional car. All the electrical system would have to be connected to a central circuit board. The function of the circuit board is to monitor the whole system and also acts as a power overload breaker.
For an average car owner to build an electric vehicle from home might seem like a daunting task. Luckily, there are many conversion guides available on the internet. To start reducing your gasoline expense bill, all you have to do is get a good step by step instructional guide, roll up your sleeves and start the conversion project.
