EV Battery Selection for DIY EV Conversions: The Architect Phase of SPARK, Part 2

The heart of any EV conversion is its battery pack. It dictates range, power, weight distribution, and even the overall feasibility of a project. Without a well-matched battery pack, the best motor and controller in the world won’t get you very far—literally. If you’re following the SPARK methodology, you already know that each phase builds […]

Selecting the Perfect Motor for your EV Conversion: The Architect Phase of SPARK – Part 1

Choosing the right electric motor is one of the most important decisions in an EV conversion. Most likely you already know this, but electric motors behave very differently than internal combustion engines: they deliver instant torque, have fewer moving parts, and often eliminate the need for a traditional transmission. The motor you choose will determine

Art or Engineering? The New Era of EV Conversions and How to Start

EV conversions have always been a niche pursuit, but their purpose and appeal have evolved significantly over the years. Two decades ago, people turned to EV conversions for practical reasons like reducing fuel costs, minimizing environmental impact, or achieving energy independence. Today, with used electric vehicles like Tesla Model 3s available from Hertz for under $20,000 USD and capable of lasting hundreds of thousands of miles with minimal maintenance, the question arises: why go through the trouble of converting a combustion vehicle to electric at all?
