Petrol is expensive! In 3 days I converted my petrol car to electric using what I think is the strangest yet simplest EV conversion technique. In this video, I'm going to walk you through how I converted the car, and show you all the modifications I made to the engine using a toy model.
This technique gives the car power steering and air conditioning without any additional motors! Leaving in half the engine saves you the time, money and effort it would take to pull out the engine and machine out motor mounts and brackets.
The converted car uses a single 6kW, 72V BLDC motor connected to a 350A Kelly Controller. In the trunk, you will find the 72V 100Ah Lithium Ferrophosphate (LFP) battery.
To retain power braking, I did have to add an electric brake booster vacuum pump to the car, to provide the brake booster with the vacuum it needs to assist you during braking. Also, since we don't have an alternator in the car anymore, I used a 72-12V DC-DC convertor to bring the 72V from the LFP battery in the back down to 12V to charge the lead acid battery to power the central locks, power windows, and the car's lights.
While the performance of a conversion like this would benefit from a larger motor and battery, the current specs produce the perfect city car - with a top speed of 60Km/h and a range of 80-90Km - you'll fit right into the Gurgaon traffic! Best of all, the car costs you less than ₹1/Km to run!
I really hope you enjoy this video and would love your thoughts and feedback in the comments! Please feel free to reach out to me for any questions you may have - I would love nothing more than to be a part of your switch from dinosaur bones to electric power!
