DIY Electric Car

MARCH 3, 2012

It has been about 5 months since I posted my first blog about converting my car to electricity. My professional life has kept me busy, but I still have made good progress on my conversion. Winter 2011-2012: Engine Bay and Under-car: The car is now completely gas-less. Picking a Motor: I have spent many nights deciding on motors.
