Convert It Michael P. Brown Review

Michael P. Brown with Shari Prange

This book is a great step by step guide that pretty much any novice could follow to convert a petrol car to full electric.

It is not written for the engineer in the laboratory, but for the home mechanic building his own car, and for the average person behind the wheel.

‘Convert It’ has been chosen by the US Department of Energy and by numerous schools as the textbook for high school electric car conversion projects.

It is full of photos and diagrams that illustrate its topics, and has a very thorough index. It is a well organised book and the information is laid out clearly.

However, this book was written in 1993, and needs to be updated. Technologies have changed (batteries, motors, controllers), and the cars to convert have changed (for example, you need to be very careful with the computer-driven dashboards and controls of most cars built in the past 8-10 years). Of course you can search the web for the latest developments.

This book has been published in a cheaper, lower quantity print-run style similar to some in-house productions of workbook-readers or manuals used in a technical training college.
