Watch 6 Build Your Own Electric Car: Transmission in Test channel | Channify

http://300MPG.org An electric car conversion usually DOES need a transmission. For one thing, on a front wheel drive car, the transmission and differential is one combined unit. The transmission then acts as a place to mount the motor and a way to split power to the two wheels. For some great ideas on different vehicles converted to electric, check out the listing at the EV Album! http://www.evalbum.com This video is one segment of an instructional video I created in 2010 from a home-built electric car I made in 2008. Of course, battery and motor technology has advanced quickly since then, and affordable, commercially-built, Electric Vehicles are now a reality. This video series covers ONE low-tech and simple way of converting a car to electric. Many of these same ideas and techniques still apply to go-karts, motorcycles, boats, and lots of other projects. We hope that you enjoy watching these videos and learn a little something from them. There are still a few copies of the original DVD for sale. Besides the video, the set also has a DVD-ROM with photos, web clips, and documents from the project. All profits support our work and go towards future DIY Clean Transportation and Renewable Energy Projects. http://300mpg.org/electric-car-instructional-dvds/ You might also want to check out the book BUILD YOUR OWN ELECTRIC VEHICLE, by Seth Leitman and Bob Brant: https://amzn.to/2jFUXVJ For CURRENT electric vehicle, DIY, and renewable energy projects, please visit http://300MPG.org.
