Electric Car Conversion Parts
One of simplest and most functional forms of transportation is the electric car. The electric vehicle is a good alternative to the gasoline powered cars of today as they are quiet to run and, since no gasoline is burned, do not produce any wasteful exhaust. The operating mechanism of this kind of car is so simple that they just run on a number of batteries, which are arranged in series with an on/off switch button. The electric motor is responsible for giving life to the car. Because of its simple engineering engine design, almost everybody can build it given the limited resources. An electric car may have a number of electric car parts, and these are not the same as many of those used in gasoline driven vehicles. A car frame, the usual wheels, a common car battery, mainstay electric motor, and on/off switch are just the basic electric car conversion parts.

The heart of an electric car is the combination of the electric motor, the motor’s controller, and the batteries.
Electric cars can use AC or DC motors. An electric motor uses magnets to create motion. Inside an electric motor, these attracting and repelling magnetic forces create rotational motion that propels the car forward.
The controller takes power from the batteries and delivers it to the motor. The accelerator pedal hooks to a pair of potentiometers or variable resistors, which provide the signal that tells the controller how much power it is supposed to deliver. The controller can deliver zero power like when the car is stopped, full power like when the driver floors the accelerator pedal, or any power level in between.
To ensure safety, there are two potentiometers. The controller reads both potentiometers and makes sure that their signals are equal. If they are not, then the controller does not operate. This arrangement guards against a situation where a potentiometer fails in the full-on position.
Other electric car parts include the wiring, connectors, fuses, holders, relays, the electric car starter, the electrically operated rear view mirror, the electric fuel pump, the power steering, and the power windows.
Most of the electric car parts are either solid-state or electrical and there are no moving parts. Also, the average maintenance costs of electric cars is about thirty percent lower than their fuel driven counterpart as there is no need for constant tuning up and fuel changing as is the case with gasoline cars.
