Build Your Own Electric Car Les & Jane Oke Review
by Les and Jane Oke
Build Your Own Electric Car at convert-2-ev.com will get you started on a conversion giving general background information, information on new and second hand parts, and it includes a list of vehicles suitable for converting to electric.
Build Your Own Electric Car is a book for a beginner, and catering to the beginner, they include is a list of electricity terminology and elements explained.
They talk a lot about using second hand parts and saving money. The information is good however we suggest that if you do use second hand parts be sure take your time collecting parts - you want parts that will last and that match. For example, it’s helpful for your sanity to get 12 - 20 batteries that match and are from the same source. If your batteries are mismatched it can be frustrating because 1. You will notice the weakest battery will be the boss 2. If one cell is damaged the whole electrical current is stopped 3. Your battery boxes/frames will need extra modifications to accommodate different sized batteries.
The authors are enthusiastic about conversions and what it means to the environment and how it saves you money.
They tell their personal story about how they built their home from the ground up to be self sufficient and completely off the grid. They give you more e-books with this book free to help show you how you can do the same at your home.
Something unique about this e-book is there is a detailed instruction section about desulfating batteries and how to build your own battery desulfator from scratch.
After you buy this e-book you are offered email support which is a great personal touch. The authors have done several home conversions themselves so they can give you legitimate advice and help.
For your own conversion, you will need to do more of your own research on parts, and on assembly. We recommend you get the Build Your Own Electric Vehicle by Seth Leitman & Bob Brant for an accompaniment to this e-book.
The great thing about this product if you buy it is all the bonuses you get. These are great if you would like some solid information about how to get your home off the grid.
