Advanced DIY EV Conversion Project

The world is facing the crisis of oil and the price of is oil is hiking day by day. Even though the fossil oil is used in vehicles, it emits the most pollutant chemicals like Sulphur dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrous oxide etc. which is hazardous to human health and environment. But today, even though many alternatives form of vehicle has been arrived in the market but the ratio of IC engine vehicle to the eco-friendly vehicle is still high. Considering the bad

consequences of IC engine vehicle and hike in gasoline products, many automobile companies have been progressively working on the design, development and production of alternative ecofriendly electric vehicles.

Converting cars also helps in the transition to a more circular economy; instead of relying on the consumption of finite resources to produce new products, the lifespan of existing products is extended as much as possible. Products are shared, repaired, reused, remanufactured, and lastly recycled. This project represents an example of the remanufacturing step of a circular economy. Instead of disposing of outdated cars with internal combustion engines and then producing new electrically powered vehicles, this project makes use of the existing car fleet and extends its lifetime.

The purpose of this book is to research the possibilities and challenges regarding the electric conversion of used cars for personal day-to-day use.
