Constructing an electric vehicle

Here we collect information about the various stages that a vehicle goes through in being converted to electric operation.

• Motor - the power plant of the electric car.
• Battery - the 'fuel tank' which supplies the controller with power.
• Controller - it takes the (constant) power from the battery and produces varying power to run the motor.
• Charger - recharges the battery from a power point.
• Instruments - not only the regular instruments but also instruments for monitoring the traction system.
• Other parts - for safety, convenience and comfort.

We also have some other documentation that will help you in the process:

• Electric vehicle safety 
• Registration
• Equipment and tools
• Testing
• Maintenance

We also have a list of write-ups for EV projects that you can use as a base for your own calculations:
