	Electric Vehicle Conversions The average consumer may shy away from electric cars, trucks, and SUVs because of high upfront costs and uncertainty about performance. These consumers should consider turning their gas-guzzling vehicles into electric vehicles with electric vehicle conversion kits. The process of converting a traditional vehicle into an electric car requires abundant time, energy, and mechanical knowledge.  The first step in an electric vehicle conversion is disconnecting the gas tank and sorting through the hundreds of wires within a typical car.  Once these relics of a gas-powered vehicle are removed, converters must remove the engine and add an electric motor.  The electric motor is powered by a set of lead-acid batteries that replace the standard car battery.  Converts must use controllers to manage battery output as well as energy collection from regenerative braking.

	Electric Vehicle Conversion Kits The process identified as electric vehicle conversion actually involves a change over or alteration of the internal combustion engine to a type of engine that is propelled by electricity. Electric vehicle conversion kits are available on the market today that will permit the conversion of nearly any kind of automobile to one that relies on electricity for power.  Electric car selections are becoming more mainstream since consumers are more conscious and aware about the environment and the considerable drain that traditional cars place on natural fossil fuels and other earth resources.  For a few thousand dollars, a car can be converted into an electric car that uses very little fuel and that reduces one’s footprint on the environment.
