Firstly, if you are planning to convert a gasoline driven car to run purely on electricity, it is a good idea to choose a donor car with a manual transmission. I wrote an article about <a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?Electric-Car-Conversion-Tips---Choose-a-Manual-Transmission-Donor-Car&id=1641783" rel="nofollow">choosing an EV donor car</a>, you can check it out. An electric motor is actually quite powerful. However, we need a way to transfer all the torque from the motor to the wheels. To do so, the electric motor has to be connected to the existing transmission. When you drive a homemade electric car, all you have to do is shift into 2nd gear and leave it there. Next, step on the accelerator and off you go. It is sort of like driving a "semi-automatic" car. 'Will Hi David, thanks for visiting my blog.
