As an alternative to purchasing a new electric vehicle, it is now possible for a private individual or organization to build an electric vehicle with ease - and at low cost- with reliable off-the-shelf electric vehicle components. Designing an electric vehicle presents a formidable engineering challenge: the integration of various aspects of vehicle design - suspension, body, drivetrain, fuel system, electrical systems, and climate control - can be time consuming and costly. This paper adresses the design considerations involved in the conversion of a gasoline-powered vehicle to electric. Discussion of the various design elements in an electric vehicle conversion will include: removal of internal combustion engine and related parts, choice of electric vehicle components, installation of electric verhicle components, and integration of electric vehicle accessory systems. For practical purposes this paper will limit consideration of EV components currently available at a cost that reflects high-volume production.
