Open Source Civic EV Kit
APRIL 7, 2008
After spending the past year and a half converting a Porsche 914 to an electric vehicle, I decided to expand my horizons by designing an open-source electric vehicle (EV) conversion kit for a commonly used car.

Porsches, Jaguars, Fiats, VW Beetles and Buses, even Ferraris, have all gone under the knife, with an increasing number of entrepreneurs serving this growing market.

I lost much sleep last night obsessing about how I could fix the DC-DC converter and, as a result, I was very tired and had an irritable day.
