Build Your Own Electric Vehicle by Seth Leitman Review

by Seth Leitman & Bob Brant

The first edition of this book published in 1993 was immensely popular.

The updated edition includes technological advances and new parts that are readily available on the market today and Build Your Own Electric Vehicle is the one common book that most of us have used for our own conversions.

The book describes in details all the components from motor, battery, controller, charger, and chassis, and gives step-by-step instructions on how to put them all together.

Build Your Own Electric Vehicle is written for the hobbyist at home and covers... EV vs. Combustible Engine Overview, Environmental and Energy Savings, EV Evolution since the First Electric Car, Current Purchase and Conversion Costs, Chassis and Design; Today's Best Motors, Battery Discharging/Charging Styles, Electrical Systems, Licensing and Insurance Issues, Driving, Maintenance, Related Clubs and Associations, Additional Resources, and more in between.

We recommend this as the essential guide for anyone who is converting their car (it's what we use).
