Recently, there was a lot of interest on Do It Yourself (DIY) electric car conversion information.
Most probably, the interest was sparked by the recent gasoline price hike.
Many people are frantically looking for ways to reduce the gas bill.
One solution is to convert their existing gasoline driven car to run purely on electricity.
For the time being, a new electric vehicle from the manufacturer is still relatively expensive.
The best alternative is a DIY electric car retrofitting.
Before anyone starts working on their car, they should get some information on electric vehicle (EV).
There were a lot of electric car conversion guides on the web.
One of it is Peter Millward's Electricity 4 Gas e-book.
How practical is the information on the manual? To start off, the book is written for amateur car hobbyist.
The book does cover the basic information on an electric vehicle conversion project such as how to choose a donor car, the types of suitable electric motor, where to find cheap batteries, what kind of controller to use and etc.
If you are looking for detailed information in Electricity 4 Gas, you will not find it.
Most of the people that bought Electricity 4 Gas or any EV conversion guides in the market would not have the skill nor the know how to carry out their own electric car retrofitting on their home garage.
Probably they will outsource the work to a professional mechanic.
To be prudent, we should at least have some knowledge on the science of an EV.
This is to ensure we are not overcharged for unnecessary parts or work done on our car.
To get those information, Electricity 4 Gas manual would be useful.
