Go from
gross polluter to protector of the environment!
You can
convert any stick shift, compact car from ICE (internal
combustion engine) using gasoline to a ZEV (zero emission
vehicle) all electric vehicle in just a few short steps.
This course, designed for the absolute beginner or novice,
will guide you in creating a reliable, pollution-free
commuter electric car.
This is
the perfect class for auto shop instructors, science
teachers, industrial technology teachers, industrial arts
teachers, and EV enthusiasts. We will be using two
textbooks, Convert It by Michael P. Brown that
describes how to convert from gas to electric power, and
Teaching Strategies by Orlich, Haden, Callahan, and
Gibson to help develop effective teaching strategies
related to electric car conversions.
During
the two weeks of the course, we will convert a loud,
gas-guzzling candidate vehicle into an amazingly quiet,
emissions-free electric car that will never have to pay at
the gas pump again.
Overcome
your fear of the conversion process with patient (mostly),
gentle, hands-on instruction. Lots of wrenching included
as an added bonus! Several field trips are planned
including trips to the San Diego Regional Transportation
Center (RTC) and the San Diego County Fair. |
