$8,000 DIY Electric Car Conversion in Hobart | Step-by-Step Homemade EV Build

Join me in Hobart as I meet Boyler who successfully converted a standard car into a fully electric vehicle for just $8,000. In this video, we tour the build, explore the battery setup, and discuss the challenges and rewards of DIY EV conversion. Learn what components are needed, how the battery fits into the original space, and what it takes to drive a homemade electric car on Australian roads. If you’re interested in sustainable transport, EV technology, or hands-on engineering, this step-by-step guide will inspire your own project. Hobart local Warren 'Boyler' Boyles takes us for a ride in his D.I.Y. electric car converted from a 3 cylinder Daihatsu. He completed the conversion 8 years ago for an approximate cost of $8,900. He charges the car with both solar powers on the roof of his garage and mains power. Apologise for the in car shots with the fish eyes lens with no stabilisation. This video is all about the information from a first adaptor, what he says is what matters. Technical info and useful EV conversions info here - http://www.overlander.tv/homemade-ele...
