		+
		+	A '''conversion electric vehicle''' is a car which has been converted from an internal combustion engine (ICE) drive to an [[Electric vehicle\|electric propulsion drive vehicle]]. The conversion EV is the most widespread form of electric vehicle on the road today.
		+
		+	One reason the conversion is so popular among EV enthusiasts (aside from the relative lack of economical [[Production\|production electric vehicles]]) is the possibility of recycling an ICE car which has otherwise outlived its useful life. Another has to do with the fact that the [[Scratchbuilt Electric Vehicle\|scratchbuilt EV]] must incorporate the plethora of complex features normally available ready-made on a conversion candidate vehicle: the drive system, all of the mandated safety features, creature comforts, product design, and the frame itself.
		+
		+	Almost any small, compact ICE vehicle in good structural condition can form the basis for a successful EV conversion. The first step in the process is to remove all of the systems related solely to the gas powered engine drive system: the engine itself, the starter motor, the fuel tank, exhaust pipes, muffler, and cooling system (radiator).
		+
		+	The major components of the electric propulsion system consist of an [[electric motor]], [[batteries]], a [[charger]], and a [[controller]]. Additionally, various items of support hardware are required, including connectors (wiring), safety devices (fuses), monitoring devices, and interface hardware (such as the [[adaptor plate]]).
		+
		+	The items necessary for a conversion can be purchased separately or in kit form. In some cases, the kits which are available are specifically tailored to the type of vehicle. In any case, the component parts must work well together as a ''system''.
