- Electric Car Kit - How to Build Your Own Electric Powered Car at Home

By Jim M. Watson
An electric car kit can help you convert you current vehicle into an electric car quickly and easily. Even if you have very little mechanical knowledge, the instructions are so easy to follow that you will be able to make your vehicle run on electricity in a very short time.

By building your own EV you can:

Eliminate your gas costs.
Get IRS refunds for driving an automobile that is friendly to the environment.
Emit less heat and pollution and reduce global warming.
Drive up to 200 miles on a single charge.
Soon all new cars will be using this technology, but until that time comes you can use a very easy-to-follow diy manual and build your very own EV for under $300! Although, most of the vehicles can be converted to run on electricity, it would be a good idea to choose a light automobile that has enough room to place the batteries.

The first thing you need to do is replace the internal combustion engine with the electric motor. You will also need a power controller, rechargeable batteries and power conductors. All these parts can be found at your local auto-shop. The conversion will cost less than $300 and will practically pay for itself in a few months. If instead of using a diy guide, you decide to pay a mechanic to do the job, then the cost will rise to $3000-$8000.

There are many do-it-yourself electric car conversion manuals online, but unfortunately many of them are very difficult to follow. Would you like to save money on gas ever year?
