Running your car on electricity is an excellent way to save money on gasoline costs and protect the environment at the same time. This is the reason why electric powered cars are becoming more and more popular everyday. Unfortunately, many people can't afford to buy a hybrid car. If you are one of them, then converting your vehicle to run on electricity is a much more cost-effective solution. This is how you can benefit by building your own EV:
- You can completely eliminate your gas bills and save thousands of dollars every year.
- You can receive tax credits from the IRS for driving a clean fuel vehicle.
- You can reach speeds of 50 miles per hour.
- You can drive up to 150-200 miles on a single charge.
- You will only need about 1 dollar to charge your automobile.
- You will get a better horsepower and engine's performance.
- You can reduce emissions and greenhouse gases.
- You will pay less on maintenance costs.
- You can start enjoying a smoother ride.
The majority of vehicles can be converted to EV's, but it would be a good idea to choose a light weight vehicle that has enough room to place the batteries. Paying an auto-shop to make the conversion may seem easier, but it's not very affordable. It will cost you about $3000! If instead you decide to do it yourself, then you will only pay a few hundred dollars.
You must first remove the internal combustion engine and replace it with the electric motor. You will also need materials such as: fuses, power conductors, rechargeable batteries, miscellaneous nuts and bolts and a power controller.
You can find many diy manuals online that can teach you how to make your own EV quickly and easily and how to get the necessary materials for very little money or even for free.
