Which make and model car do you want to convert to electric? On this project, we converted a 1996 Geo Metro, as it was a simple and affordable car which was easy to work on. You might want a truck, a classic car, or convertible. Remember, start with a car you like, and something in good condition. You want to do a conversion, not a restoration!

For some great ideas on different vehicles converted to electric, check out the listing at the EV Album! http://www.evalbum.com

This video is one segment of an instructional video I created in 2010 from a home-built electric car I made in 2008. Of course, battery and motor technology has advanced quickly since then, and affordable, commercially-built, Electric Vehicles are now a reality.

This video series covers ONE low-tech and simple way of converting a car to electric. Many of these same ideas and techniques still apply to go-karts, motorcycles, boats, and lots of other projects. We hope that you enjoy watching these videos and learn a little something from them.

There are still a few copies of the original DVD for sale. Besides the video, the set also has a DVD-ROM with photos, web clips, and documents from the project.
All profits support our work and go towards future DIY Clean Transportation and Renewable Energy Projects.
