Converting to an Electric Vehicle

Putting It All Together- A Closer Look at the Parts
There are a lot of different parts that make up your electric
car working to convert battery power into motion and we will
deal with each one in turn.


The very first thing you will notice after you take out the gas
engine from your vehicle is how will you connect the electric
motor to the drive train?


Most of the recommended sources of motors come with an
adaptor kit that can be fitted quite easily onto your car to
attach the electric motor to the drive train.


What’s nice is that the adaptor bolts to the housing of the
transmission or the transmission itself and the electric motor
bolts to the other side.


It must be mounted with the correct spacing so the adaptor
will spin freely with the motor and it has to be aligned
straight.
