Welcome to North Central State College and the 2011 Electric Car Conversion Workshop July 25 – August 5,
2011 |
|
|
Come join other electric car enthusiasts as we convert a conventional gasoline burning vehicle over to clean, pollution free, pure electric power. No experience necessary! We will team up and create a vehicle that will never need to stop at a gas pump again! This year, we will be converting a small pickup truck (either S-10 or Ranger type). This is a great class for auto shop instructors, college professors, science and math teachers, industrial and technology teachers, as well as anyone interested in the changing world of electric and hybrid cars. Each participant will get a copy of Build Your Own Electric Vehicle by Leitman and Brant, which gives a great background on how to convert a car. There will also be daily presentations on the various aspects of electric and hybrid cars, including battery technology, low-rolling resistance tires, biofuels and electric car performance. |
