==Workshop Description==
 
This workshop guides you through the complete process of converting a vehicle from a gasoline engine to electric power. Morning classroom sessions will be combined with afternoon hands-on shop sessions. By the end of the workshop, the group will have completed one running electric car conversion capable of highway speeds and 40-60 mile range on one charge.
 
  
You will learn the principles behind good component layout, battery rack, and box design and construction, and wiring, with hands-on experience installing the components. You will also learn how to apply these principles to different types of vehicles, and learn about the differences between AC and DC drive systems, and different types of batteries. Each student will receive a copy of the book "Convert It" (ISBN 1-879857-94-4)

This workshop guides you through the complete process of converting a vehicle from an internal combustion engine to electric power. Lectures are combined with hands-on shop sessions. In just 6 days students will be accelerated through the learning and building process that normally takes people months or years! Learn what tools to get and how to use them as well as the principles behind good component layout, battery rack and box design and construction and wiring, with hands-on experience installing the components. You will also learn how to apply these principles to various types of vehicles, and about the differences between AC and DC drive systems as well as different types of batteries and recommendations on the latest and best components. Whether you are planning to build your own EV, start a conversion business or even want to know more about the parts in your factory built EV, this class will put you ahead of the rest.

Mike Brown and Shari Prange are owners of [http://www.electroauto.com Electro Automotive], founded in 1979 as a parts supplier for home built electric vehicle conversions. Mike Brown had many years of experience in automotive service and repair, engine building, and racecar building before turning exclusively to electric conversions. He and his wife Shari Prange co-authored the book "'Convert It", which has long been the primary how-to reference book for conversions. They have taught many electric vehicle classes and workshops, written for "Home Power" magazine, and now serve as transportation editors for "Home Power".
