If you own a Geo Metro, you’ll love its compact size and versatility. It is a reliable and inexpensive car. Unfortunately, just like any conventional car, the Metro uses an internal combustion engine power plant. In mid-2008, gasoline prices were at an all-time high and many car owners were having a hard time coping. One way to reduce our modesty on fossil fuels is to convert our cars to electric power. How do we convert the Geo Metro into an electric vehicle (EV)? The easiest way is to use the electric car kit.<\/p>\n
The concept of converting an electric vehicle is to remove the gasoline engine and replace it with an electric motor. To generate thrust, the motor is connected to the current transfer unit. In order to align the engine and transmission shafts together, a metal tie plate would be used. The plate shall be custom made with all screw holes drilled in the exact location to meet the transmission housing. This can be a tedious and time consuming process for a conversion project. To save time, we can use the Geo Metro marketing electric vehicle kit.<\/p>\n
Most electric vehicle conversion kit has all the important parts in the package. The main components needed for electric vehicle retrofit are electric motor, control unit, rheostat, hub, universal coupler, gauges and so on. These are generic parts that you can purchase at a local hardware store. The challenge is finding the right unit to fit your electric power system which can be time consuming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
