<p><strong>Les and Jane Oke</strong>, a couple, have been taking every possible step to protect the nature from degradation for the last 20 years. They realized that the environment is polluted mostly by the exhaust fumes emitted by vehicles using fossil fuels.</p>
<p>So their efforts to save the environment were mostly concentrated on converting as many conventional automobile with an internal combustion engine to electric vehicles (EV) so that the vehicles won’t emit harmful gases into the air.</p>
<p>Les and Jane themselves used only pure electric cars which they converted on their own. They jointly have authored an e-book on the subject of conversion of gas guzzler into electric vehicles. As a result of their efforts, a number of cars have already been converted to electric vehicles.</p>
<p>Whatever they know and their experiences with <a href="http://cbelectriccar.com/blog/homemade-electric-car/homemade-electric-car-how-to-get-started-with-a-diy-electric-vehicle/">homemade electric vehicles </a>are explained in detail in their ebook, <a href="http://cbelectriccar.com/">Convert2EV</a>.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft" title="Convert2EV Ebook" src="http://cbelectriccar.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/convert2ev.png" alt="" width="180" height="283" />The Convert2EV manual was written in such a simple manner so that even a person who has no knowledge of electric vehicles can also understand the concept. To help people to understand the process of conversion to electric vehicles, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Les and Jane Oke</span> have included ample illustrations and diagrams in the book.</p>
<p>The book starts with a list of cars that are suitable for conversion to electric cars. All cars are not equally suitable for conversion. The guide goes on to explain how the right kind of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_motor" target="_blank">electric motor</a> for the car can be selected.</p>
<p>The item that costs most while converting a car into an electric car is the deep cycle battery. To save money, the book suggests using recycled batteries so that the cost of conversion project can be minimized.</p>
<p>The ebook also contains the contact number and address of Les Oke so that you can contact him in case you face any difficulty while your car is being converted into an EV. Your queries will be answered by Les personally within a day but it can be a bit late during weekends.</p>
<p>The EV conversion process is not at all difficult as long as the car owner has the will and interest in the conversion. The basic things you need to buy from a store for the conversion purpose are a battery and a DC electric motor. Some more minor accessories are also required.</p>
<p>The following are the characteristics of Convert2EV, the manual on conversion of automobile into electric cars. It is written in a very simple manner for anybody to understand easily.</p>
<ul>
<li> Lists the places where electric motors can be bought at competitive prices.</li>
<li> Provides a list of cars that are suitable for conversion.</li>
<li> Directs people to places where old deep cycle batteries can be bought at cheap rates.</li>
<li> Lists the tools necessary to carry out the EV conversion.</li>
<li> Explains how a used battery can be recycled.</li>
<li> Contains contact number and e-mail address to ask any questions.</li>
</ul>
<p>Though the conversion process is simple and the job can be done by yourself, it is better to have a helper since there is some physical labor involved in the conversion. A converted car performs in the same way as a traditional car. The car owner will be satisfied with every aspect of the converted car’s performance.</p>
<p>The biggest advantage of converting the car into an electric car, in addition to protecting the environment, is the saving of money which otherwise would have been spent on gas. The car owner doesn’t have to queue up at the gas station for a gas refill.</p>
<p>An added characteristic of Les and Jane’s e-book is that it can be returned if the buyer is not satisfied with it, entitling him for a full refund of the cost of the book. To get a copy of the Convert2EV manual, click on the link below.</p>

Maybe you’ve even visited their web site at <a href="http://www.cbelectriccar.com/blog/convert2ev_site">www.convert-2-ev.com/</a> . But is Les Oke’s Do It Yourself (DIY) electric car conversion guide the real deal or is Convert2EV a scam?</p>
<p>If you have never bought anything from the internet before, it is understandable why you may feel a bit anxious when buying something from the internet. You can’t be too careful or you might be taken for a ride.</p>
<h1>My Experience With Convert2EV</h1>
<p>Les Oke’s Convert2EV manual was the first e-book on <a href="http://cbelectriccar.com/blog/homemade-electric-car/homemade-electric-car-how-to-get-started-with-a-diy-electric-vehicle/">homemade electric car</a> that I bought and that was more than 2 years ago. Back then, the global crude oil prices were hitting a dizzying level of $100 per barrel and many car owners were getting very nervous about rising gasoline cost. Some have started to look for a cheap way to reduce their transportation cost and that sparked my interest in pure electric cars.</p>
<p>Back then, pure electric cars are very expensive and they still are now. One of the cheaper alternatives was to convert your conventional car to electric. I wanted to know what’s involved in a <a href="http://cbelectriccar.com/blog/">DIY electric car conversion</a> project and that’s why I bought the Convert2EV guide.</p>
<p>So, what can you learn the DIY electric car conversion guide?</p>
<p>Firstly, you will learn what are the works involved in a homemade electric car project. Les Oke begins by teaching you how to look for a donor car for your EV conversion project. Next, you will learn about all the key components of an EV such as the electric motor, electric controller, metal adapter plate, deep cycle batteries, charge controller, volt meter, amp meter etc.</p>
<p>One thing good about the <em>Convert2EV</em> e-book is the language it was written. Les understands that most of us are not car mechanics and we may not be able to understand some of the technical jargons. Luckily, the language in the manual was keep very simple so anyone can read it and understand it.</p>
<p>Should you buy the<span style="text-decoration: underline;"> Convert2EV</span> e-book? If you are planning to start an EV conversion project from your home garage or outsource the entire conversion work to a professional mechanic, you should definitely get a copy of the manual.</p>
<p>If you are planning to pay someone to do the conversion for you, Les’ e-book will give you some information on the science of a DIY electric car.</p>
<p>Have you heard of the term “Knowledge is Power”? By reading the e-book, at least you will know what are the components needed for the EV retrofitting process. Now you don’t have to worry about being charged for unnecessary work or parts for your EV.</p>
<p>Les Oke’s Convert2EV e-book is relatively cheap as well. You can get a copy of it for only <strong>$49.97</strong>. Click on the link below to visit Les’ web site.</p>

<p>One of the first e-book I bought on <a href="http://www.cbelectriccar.com/diyelectriccar/index.html">DIY electric car conversion</a> is Les Oke’s <strong><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.cbelectriccar.com/blog/convert2ev_site">Convert2EV</a></strong>. That was more than one year ago.</p>
<p>Back then, we were having a global crisis on energy and crude oil was trading at $150 per barrel!</p>
<p>Many people were panicking especially large vehicle owners. It was an expensive and scary experience stopping by the gas station to fuel up.</p>
<p>I was feeling the pinch also. Gasoline prices when up about 10 percent at my place. I knew back then the gas price hike was not the last one. It was a matter of time before it was raised again.</p>
<p>I was looking for a solution to this problem and that has lead me to research on the concept of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_car">electric car</a>.</p>
<p>As it turns out, a pure electric car from the manufacturers are really expensive. An EV off the dealership lot can cost upwards of $40,000! I doubt many people can afford that.</p>
<p>A cheaper alternative is to convert a normal automobile to run on pure electricity. That is where Les Oke’s EV manual comes in handy.</p>
<p>If you want to own an electric vehicle, your first option if to send it to a professional EV converter to be retrofitted. Alternatively, you can convert the car on your own via Do It Yourself (DIY) approach. Les has written the EV guide mainly for the DIYers.</p>
<p>Les Oke and his family have been living off the grid for more than 15 years. Part of their green lifestyle is to drive a vehicle with zero emission. An electric car gives them that option.</p>
<p>Throughout the years, Les has converted many cars to run purely on electricity. Convert2EV e-book is his years of EV conversion experience penned down.</p>
<p>Here are a few key points I learned from his guide.</p>
<p>1)	Step by step EV conversion process.</p>
<p>2)	How to cut gasoline cost to nearly zero.</p>
<p>3)	How to get big IRS refund from using an electric car.</p>
<p>Is Les’s Convert2EV worth the investment?</p>
<p>Personally, I did get a lot of information out of it. It was very insightful.</p>
<p>I have plan to send my car to a professional EV workshop to get it converted in the future. I would rather spend some money to get someone to do the work for me.</p>
<p>What I wanted is some basic knowledge on electric car. At least I can have a meaningful conversation with the mechanic so I won’t look totally ignorant.</p>
<p>If you have plan to convert your car to EV, check out Les Oke’s Convert2EV manual.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Converting a Gas Powered Car to Electric</h2>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="Electric Car Conversion" src="http://www.idriveelectric.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/4402_209346755650_619550650_7100941_2157696_n_001-604x400.jpg" alt="" width="377" height="249" /></p>
<p>From my research on <a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?Do-it-Yourself-(DIY)-Electric-Car---How-Practical-is-It?&amp;id=2020688">DIY electric car</a>, I realize there are many people that are very open to the idea of converting their gas powered car to electric.</p>
<p>I think this is understandable because of the recent gasoline price hike back in 2008. Many car owners were unable to cope with their inflated energy expense bill.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/Electric+vehicles" rel="tag">Electric vehicles</a> (EV) are definitely cheaper to run compared to a gasoline car. Unfortunately, without the economy of scale, a brand new electric car from the dealership is still quite expensive.</p>
<p>One alternative for us to own an EV is to convert our conventional vehicle to run on electricity via a <strong>Do It Yourself (DIY)</strong> approach.</p>
<p>How do we start a DIY electric car conversion project from home?</p>
<p>Well, the first step to any car modification process is to get a good conversion guide.</p>
<p>There are numerous <a href="http://www.cbelectriccar.com">electric car conversion guides</a> on the web. All you need to do is perform a query on the search engine and select the right one for you.</p>
<p>The retrofitting process is actually not that complicated. The idea is to remove the <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/internal+combustion+engine" rel="tag">internal combustion engine</a> and replace it with an electric motor.</p>
<p>Since the engine is gone, the gas tank, fuel lines, radiator, exhaust pipe and fuel pump are to be taken out as well.</p>
<p>To generate torque, the electric motor is connected to the existing transmission unit. This is a critical step because any mistakes will affect the efficiency of the motor therefore reducing the performance of your electric vehicle.</p>
<p>Now is the time where you have to follow all the instructions in the conversion guides carefully. It is imperative that you align the motor and the transmission shafts perfectly. Any misalignment will create vibration and that will shake your EV components loose.</p>
<p>Converting a gas powered car to electric can be tedious. If you do not have the patience, you should outsource the work to a professional mechanic.</p>
<p>However, we should not be ignorant on the subject of <a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?EV-Conversion-Manual---Make-Your-Own-Electric-Car&amp;id=2017203">EV Conversion</a>. We should so some research on electric car. This is to safeguard us from being charge for unnecessary parts or work done.</p>
<p>If you are looking for a good Electric Car Conversion guide, you can check out <a href="http://www.cbelectriccar.com/blog/convert2ev_site">Convert 2 EV e-book</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Does Convert 2 EV Work for Electric Car Conversion Project?</h2>
<p><img class="alignleft" title="Did You Know" src="http://cbelectriccar.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/convert2ev.png" alt="" width="181" height="226" />On this blog post, I am going to write about the effectiveness of Les and Jane Oke&#8217;s <a href="http://www.cbelectriccar.com/blog/convert2ev_site">Convert 2 EV</a> online electric car conversion guide.</p>
<p>The way I see it, if you want to drive an <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/electric+vehicle" rel="tag">electric vehicle</a> (EV), there are 2 ways to get it. You can either buy a new one from <a href="http://cbelectriccar.com/blog/electric-car-makers/top-ten-electric-car-manufacturers-in-north-america/">electric car manufacturers</a> or convert your existing gasoline driven car to electric.</p>
<p>If you are buying a new one, you&#8217;ll have your EV immediately. If are planning to retrofit your car to EV, there are 2 ways to it also. You can either outsource the conversion project or you can <strong>Do It Yourself (DIY)</strong>.</p>
<p>To do your own <a href="http://www.cbelectriccar.com/">electric car conversion</a> at home is no easy task. The whole process is like doing heart surgery on your car.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Convert 2 EV E-Book Review</span></h1>
<p><a href="http://www.cbelectriccar.com/blog/convert2ev_site"><img class="alignleft" title="Build My Own Electric Car" src="http://cbelectriccar.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/convert2ev.png" alt="" width="170" height="248" /></a>Today I have decided to do an e-book review on <strong>&#8220;Build Your Own Electric Car&#8221;</strong> from www.convert2ev.com. The authors of the book is a couple by the name Les and Jane Oke.</p>
<p>A quick Google search, I found out they also run www.off-grid-living.com. The website showcase life living off the nation electricity grid. Both sites are related to a same topic which is <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/green+energy" rel="tag">green energy</a> and helping the environment. So far so good.</p>
<p>First thing I notice about the e-book is its horrible looking cover design. But we don&#8217;t judge a book by its cover even though there are a lot to be judged. They could have paid $100 to get an e-book cover designed by a professional. But lets move on.</p>
<p>The following are my findings from my <strong>Convert2EV review</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>It e-book is really simple and easy to understand</li>
<li>It explained how and where to find cheap electric motors</li>
<li>Listed a number of car models which are suitable to be retrofitted into EV</li>
<li>Explained where to find cheap batteries</li>
<li>A list of necessary tools needed for a DIY electric vehicle (EV) conversion</li>
<li><a href="http://www.cbelectriccar.com/blog/convert2ev_site">www.Convert2Ev.com</a> also Offers full online support</li>
</ul>
<p>Generally, the e-book is pretty decent and informative. Build Your Own Electric Car is selling and $49.97 as of October 2008 and is quite competitive compared to other <a href="http://www.cbelectriccar.com/">EV conversion guide</a> on the web.</p>
<p>As a bonus, they also include 4 other e-books free of charge. These bonus e-books cover topic related to green energy such as how to live off the grid, solar power, wind power, bio diesel etc.</p>
<p>Since Convert 2 EV is offered under Clickbank, there is the standard unconditional <strong>60 Days Money Back Guarantee</strong>. Meaning, if you buy the book and you don&#8217;t see any value, you can ask for your money back from Clickbank.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Convert2EV" src="http://cbelectriccar.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/convert2evsite-e1299203239139.jpg" alt="" width="376" height="323" /><em>Convert2EV Web Site</em></p>
<p><strong>My verdict:</strong> It is a good introductory book for anyone who is looking for ways to cut their gasoline expenses. It is understood that most people would not have the skill nor the time to convert an electric car themselves.</p>
<p>Then again we should not be ignorant. If we were to send our car to be retrofitted into an EV in a professional workshop, at least we have some basic knowledge on electric cars. This is to safeguard us from being charged for unnecessary parts and work done.</p>
