Fill 'er up, please...

I have an assignment about converting a petrol car to electric and i just want to get a few things straight. All the parts you need come with the DC conversion kit? What is in the DC conversion kit?

Hi, Lachy!

I've got just the article for you to read: see my conversion kits page and learn about common DC conversion kits, what comes with them, and where to get them.


Generally, the DC conversion kit comes with a motor, a controller...and hopefully, all the stuff you need to attach those things to your donor car and the battery pack.

A specific kit, say, for a Porsche 914, was put together for that particular car. The adapter for the transmission is already made, the motor fits just so, the right length bolts included, the controller fits over here, wire this to that and you're done.

A "universal" kit is generic; it comes in something like small, medium and large...but you're the one who gets to make it fit into your donor car.
