Abstract

In this paper is described the conversion of an Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicle into and Electric Vehicle (EV). The main steps of this conversion are briefly described, especially the standards to legalize EVs in Portugal, and the EV elements, mainly, the electric motor and its respective controller, and the batteries with the charging system. This paper also presents the modifications performed in the vehicle that was transform it in an EV, and that are specific of the vehicle used, mainly the adaptations to assemble the electric motor in the vehicle, and the disposition of the batteries’ bank on the vehicle.
