Electric Vehicle Conversion Workshop
6-Day Hands-On EV Conversion Workshop
From Donor to Runner in 6 Days
Learn from the people who know it best. Electro Automotive has been in the electric vehicle conversion
business longer than anyone - since 1979 - providing conversion kits, components, training, books, and
videos about electric car conversions. We wrote the book on electric car conversions - literally. Our
book "Convert It" has been the "bible" of electric car conversions for many years, and still is today.
Brands and models of components and batteries may change, but the principles of a good conversion
are fundamental.
Due to the popularity of our recent workshop in the Puget Sound area, Electro Automotive will be
offering the same workshop in the San Francisco Bay Area April 26 - May 1, 2010. There will be no
more than 9 students per vehicle to insure that everyone gets to participate. Please pre-register to
reserve your space.
This workshop will guide students throu! gh the complete process of converting a vehicle to electric
power. Classroom sessions will be combined with hands-on shop sessions. By the end of the workshop,
the group will have completed two running electric car conversions capable of highway speeds and 60-
80 miles range.
Students will learn the principles behind good component layout, battery rack and box design and
construction, and wiring, with hands-on experience installing the components. They will also learn how to
apply these principles to different types of vehicles, and learn about the differences between AC and DC
drive systems, and different types of batteries. Each student will receive a copy of the book "Convert It".
Topics Include:
• Expected performance
• Choosing a suitable chassis
• Components & their functions
• Overall layout
• Designing & fabricating
• support structures
• Wiring
• Testing & troubleshooting
• Driving & Maintenance
