[PDF] Build Your Own Electric Vehicle by Seth Leitman and Bob Brant

Preface:

The electrical car (EV) motion has broadened to a number of ranges of the general public debate. Al Gore and Leonardo DiCaprio have lately made films about the necessity to help the atmosphere and how oil and vitality have created the worldwide warming issues that our world at the moment faces. Al Gore simply received a Nobel Peace Prize for his dialogue and name to motion about international warming/local weather change. The value of oil has lately fluctuated round $140 per barrel and $4.50 per gallon.

Properly, EVs remedy a number of issues rapidly. Electric automobiles bypass excessive vitality costs. Electric automobiles value pennies to cost. Electric automobiles have zero tailpipe emissions. Whereas they cost up on electrical energy from energy vegetation, they’ll additionally cost on electrical energy from photo voltaic, wind, and some other renewable useful resource. Additionally, when you examine emissions from energy vegetation for each automobile on the street versus gasoline emissions, electrical automobiles are all the time all the time cleaner. As well as, as energy vegetation get cleaner and our energy vegetation cut back emissions, electrical automobiles will solely get cleaner. Electric automobiles additionally assist develop the economic system.

Everyone knows that we have to enhance the variety of electrical automobiles. Hybrid electrics, plug-in hybrids, and low-speed automobiles all broaden electrical transportation. We as a rustic—no, we as world—are rising our involvement on this business. From China to India, to Nice Britain to France, and again right here in the USA, electrical transportation can solely create a brand new business that can enhance our manufacturing sector’s capacity to construct clear environment friendly automobiles.

I lately spoke with an proprietor of an electrical automobile firm who stated that the UAW was greater than excited to construct electrical automobiles because the conventional automobile firms had been leaving Detroit in single file. This may solely enhance home jobs in the USA and assist our economic system. Our world is relying on fossil fuels from nations that predominantly haven’t supported one of the best monetary pursuits of the USA. It’s a nationwide safety difficulty for all of us to be sending over billions of {dollars} to nations which might be politically unstable and/or antagonistic with Western nations.

One other solution to ask the questions is: Ought to we be sending extra money to Iran and Venezuela, or ought to we hold it in our personal pockets? That’s the reason I consider in a pollution-free, oil-free type of transportation. My first firm’s tag line use to be “Air pollution-Free, Oil-Free, It’s Good To Be Free.” That’s the mantra I want to present for this e-book! Once you drive an electrical car, that’s how you are feeling—free.
