EV Conversions

Plan Walkthrough

PLAN – Designing an EV conversion from scratch: a SPARK walk through

Now that we’ve defined what we want this conversion to accomplish, we can start working toward it in a structured way. The Plan phase is all about translating our Engineering Decisions into real-world numbers — specifically, how much power the system needs to deliver during demanding situations, and how much energy the battery needs to store for the vehicle […]

Select – A SPARK walkthrough :Designing an EV conversion from scratch

Ah, EVs. Magical to some, blasphemous to others. Few topics divide the automotive world quite like electrification — and yet, most of us want a taste of what EVs offer: instant torque, buttery-smooth acceleration, and near-zero maintenance. Sure, internet warriors and some corners of the media love to dunk on them. But here’s the truth: EV

Redemptive Voltage: 5 EV Conversions That Give Souls To Their Donors

Some cars are born with a soul. A few are rowdy and unhinged, some are elegant and composed, and others feel tough and utilitarian—tools of purpose rather than expression. Then there are the blank slates: the cars that serve a purpose but never quite connect. That doesn’t mean they aren’t great machines. A car doesn’t

Imperfect EV conversions – The Joy of Building and Feeling Useful

Gone are the days when an inventor would tinker in his own farm, develop a new tractor, bicycle or car and use it for what it was: a useful tool. Today, most of the new inventions revolve around profits. The majority of the western world, particularly in first world countries, thinks that inventions need to

Wiring Your EV Conversion: Centralized vs. Decentralized Architectures (The Route Phase of SPARK)

You’ve come a long way. You’ve picked your donor vehicle, worked through energy calculations, chosen your motor and batteries, and figured out your charging setup. Now what do you do with all these components? They don’t work on their own, they have to somehow work in unison to make the vehicle move the way you
