Where can I buy everything I need to convert my car over to an electric car? Including a 3 phase AC inverted motor, how to connect the batteries, where to get the controller and some kind of relay so when I step on the brakes it automatically cuts off the power and how to hook all that up.
I also would like to have my own design by connecting it directly to the rear wheel of a front wheel drive car and need help with that.
Hi, Mark!
Your first stop is to get the book "Build Your Own Electric Vehicle" - the new edition by Seth Leitman. In it, you'll find a good list of EV parts dealers and manufacturers so you can choose somebody reputable near your own location, and you can find answers to your very good questions like "how can I dispense with the transmission" and "how do I hook up the fuses and kill-switch".
A good EV conversion manual is priceless!
Regards,
Lynne
