You can get started now at: Electricity4cars Build Your Own Electric Vehicle Build Your Own Electric Car Challenge Here at our off grid home we are always looking for new and better ways to use renewable energy in our lives. We took on this project as a challenge to all of those people who said it could not be done. We want to share this information with as many people as we can; the suppression of knowledge in the area of alternative fuels for vehicles has gone on too long. That is why we are in the energy crunch we now face. The electric car is the answer we think. You will find out why very soon. We had seen electric cars and hybrid electric vehicles on the roads for a few years and we knew that with our experience in the field of Renewable Energy, especially DC motors and battery systems that we could make it work.
