Electric Car Conversion Kit , How To Do It Cheaply
65Electric Car Conversion Kit , How Easy Is It?
An electric car conversion kit, what is it? Well the other day while I was out and around town I came across some pamphlets in my local coffee shop about converting your gas -guzzler into a low cost green machine also known as an earth friendly car. The kit is essentially a package that you can purchase to convert your combustible engine car into a greener alternative electric motor driven car. Ever since reading a bit more about it I have become almost preoccupied with it.
On my way to the food store yesterday I found myself thinking that there is no reason why I couldn't use an electric car conversion kit to transform my old Toyota Camry into an electric vehicle that I can drive for the short errands about town.
I discovered that an electric car conversion kit or not even necessarily a kit but just the information and directions on how to convert my vehicle to an electric vehicle would allow me to do the following:
1- Get rid of the combustible fuel engine and all of the upkeep and bills that are included with it.
2- Get rid of the gas tank.
3- Tear off and dump the muffler and exhaust system. Yippee no more replacing the exhaust.
4- Never have to stop for gas again!
5- Stop paying for oil changes. Fewer moving parts-no oil.
6- Save a lot of money in upkeep and repair bills.
These are just a few perks and advantagesthat I thought of off the top of my head. I am sure there are a ton more. Anyway picking up detailed directions or a full-blown electric car conversion kit is sounding more and more the way to go.
For me, after seeing the price tag for a entire kit versus the price tag for a conversion manual the selection was a no-brainer. The manual was very cheap.
I have heard about people blowing $12000 to convert their vehicles to electric vehicles (EV). But I also found people that spent less than eight hundred dollars to do it. The difference is a lot of dough. If you do it yourself with detailed directions and a used motor and batteries you can make it very cheaply, less than a thousand dollars.

My survey of 50 electric conversion jobs found the average new part cost to be around $10,000.
I've seen a couple using donated fork lift parts, including the original clunky relay controller, giving them golf cart like results.
Doing conversions on the cheap reminds me of the idea of used french fry oil bio fuel, a bargain for a few but there's just not enough used motors and junk food restaurants to go around.
