Six-Day Hands-On Workshop

From Donor to Runner in 6 Days

Sponsored by Solar Energy International

Learn from the people who know it best. Electro Automotive has been in the electric vehicle conversion business longer than anyone - since 1979 - providing conversion kits, components, training, books, and videos about electric car conversions. We wrote the book on electric car conversions - literally. Our book "Convert It" has been the "bible" of electric car conversions for many years, and still is today. Brands and models of components and batteries may change, but the principles of a good conversion are fundamental.

The workshop is sponsored by Solar Energy International

This workshop will guide students through the complete process of converting a vehicle to electric power. Classroom sessions will be combined with hands-on shop sessions. By the end of the workshop, the group will have completed two running electric car conversions capable of highway speeds and 60-80 miles range.

Students will learn the principles behind good component layout, battery rack and box design and construction, and wiring, with hands-on experience installing the components. They will also learn how to apply these principles to different types of vehicles, and learn about the differences between AC and DC drive systems, and different types of batteries. Each student will receive a copy of the book "Convert It".
