Converting a car to electric: choosing a motor

The electric car basically works with a motor. It is the most important part of the car. A conventional car would be powered by an internal combustion engine, but the electric car would need a motor to provide the driving force. In many cases, the engine has determined the cost of the EV conversion or its price.

There are several types of motors to choose from for your electric car conversion, but you may want to first determine the correct option by looking at the type of car you are converting.

If you’re converting a small sedan or light truck, you may want to get a DC conversion. This type of engine is economical and is suitable for light cars. The downside is that you wouldn’t be able to get very high acceleration and you wouldn’t be able to carry a heavy load either. CC conversions won’t last long either.

Another option would be to opt for AC conversion. This type is more durable and will last a long time. It is known to offer better acceleration and can carry heavy loads. They tend to be very expensive, although they are more durable and robust than DC conversions.

So if you’re just converting your car for use around town or for short trips, the DC can be a very good option. It is cheap and widely available. On the other hand, if you would be traveling out of state more and carrying heavy loads, I would opt for the AC conversion.
