Six-Day Hands-On 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 through 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 a running electric car conversion capable of highway speeds and 50 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".

  • Expected performance
  • Choosing a suitable chassis
  • Components & their functions
  • Overall layout
