EV Conversion Simplified: Step-by-Step Guidance
You’ve got dreams of bringing that beautiful ‘66 Mustang sitting in your garage back to life. You’re sick of stressing about it breaking down, and searching for parts that have been out of production for four decades. We get it. In fact, Fuel2Electric’s own John Wilson just brought his ‘66 Mustang back from the edge of despair.
How, you ask? By following the Fuel2Electric process of converting a gas-guzzling, combustion-based car into an EV. You don’t have to do it alone, and it doesn’t have to be a nightmare process of tangled wires, endless hours of research, and who knows what else. At Fuel2Electric, we’re in the business of making things simple. Here’s how we do it:
1. Know Your Options—We’ll Walk You Through Them
The first question everyone asks is, “Where do I even start?” And truth be told, the question should be, “How do I start? Do I want to DIY this, or am I better off leaving it to the pros?” And most of the time, we will probably recommend leaving it to the pros. Either way, we help you explore your options and land on the right approach for you. We work hand-in-hand with the best electric conversion companies in the world to get you what you need.
2. Is Your Car a Good Fit? Can You Convert a Gas Car to Electric?
Though not every car is a perfect candidate for conversion, the answer to both questions will most likely be yes. Some cars make it easy, others—not so much. We’ll take a good look at your vehicle and make sure it can survive the surgery. From weight balance to available battery space to safety and performance, our experts handle the tough questions, so you don’t have to.
3. Picking the EV Conversion Kit–We Got You
The process truly begins with picking the right conversion kit–or building your own. Much of this comes from what you want out of your vehicle once it emerges on the other side, and we help you choose the right kit and components that will make it possible. We’ll make sure everything—motor, batteries, controllers—are all compatible with one another and ready to go. All you have to do is get excited.
4. Feel the Spark with Your Electric Conversion Company
We have the largest network of EV conversion companies in America, and we will put you in touch with someone you feel a connection with. Whether you just need the parts, or you want the entire conversion done by a pro, we’ll connect you with the right member of our network. And from start to finish, we’ll be there with you, giving you updates.
5. Final Adjustments and Testing
You’re almost there. After the install is complete, it’s time for some fine-tuning. Our team will help dial in the vehicle, and make sure it’s road-ready. This includes checking battery performance, adjusting the controller settings, and ensuring that the weight distribution does not negatively affect driving dynamics.
6. Enjoy the Ride
With your gas engine replaced with an electric motor, and all the auxiliary components in place to make it all possible, you’re ready. No more trips to the gas station. No more crazy maintenance or rare component replacement bills. Just clean, modern, high-performance driving in your old beloved.
At Fuel2Electric, we’re here to help every step of the way–no matter your EV goals. If you’re ready to make the best automotive decision of your life, get in touch with us about your car today. Let’s get started.
