In May of 2017, I attended a workshop in Redding, California on converting combustion vehicles to electric. Earlier that year, I found a YouTube channel created by Richard van Wyhe called EV4U, that offered all kinds of helpful videos teaching people how to build their own electric vehicle using their existing car. Their channel offered a 3 day workshop in a garage that taught all aspects of converting your vehicle to an electric drivetrain!
Converting ICE to EV
The workshop was a really informative 3 days and we learned about AC and DC motors, batteries, EV vehicle circuits and more! We converted a sand buggy over to EV on the 3rd day and had the opportunity to test drive it. This workshop has inspired me in many ways to explore more battery technology and electric vehicle drivetrains.
