15 Build Your Own Electric Car: Driving the Car

With the electric conversion complete, let's hop in the car and go for a spin! We talk about shifting without a clutch and the electric car driving experience. This is the final section of the original BUILD YOUR OWN ELECTRIC CAR DVD, and includes end credits and previews for other titles. 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. http://300mpg.org/electric-car-instru...
