Balance of System refers to the other necessary, but perhaps not exciting components outside of the main ones. This includes items such as a main fuse, contactor, pre-charge resistor, instrumentation, etc. For some great ideas on different vehicles converted to electric, check out the listing at the EV Album! .evalbum.com&v=JdoD4NWTT6A&redir_token=AsYgGuqAkdEKZRwZvyertOBv5tB8MTU0ODkxMjEwNUAxNTQ4ODI1NzA1&event=video_description This video is one segment of an instructional video I created in 2010 from a home-built electric car I made in 2008. Of course, battery and motor technology has advanced quickly since then, and affordable, commercially-built, Electric Vehicles are now a reality. This video series covers ONE low-tech and simple way of converting a car to electric. Many of these same ideas and techniques still apply to go-karts, motorcycles, boats, and lots of other projects. We hope that you enjoy watching these videos and learn a little something from them. There are still a few copies of the original DVD for sale. Besides the video, the set also has a DVD-ROM with photos, web clips, and documents from the project. All profits support our work and go towards future DIY Clean Transportation and Renewable Energy Projects. .org%2Felectric-car-instructional-dvds%2F&v=JdoD4NWTT6A&redir_token=AsYgGuqAkdEKZRwZvyertOBv5tB8MTU0ODkxMjEwNUAxNTQ4ODI1NzA1&event=video_description For CURRENT electric vehicle, DIY, and renewable energy projects, please visit .org&v=JdoD4NWTT6A&redir_token=AsYgGuqAkdEKZRwZvyertOBv5tB8MTU0ODkxMjEwNUAxNTQ4ODI1NzA1&event=video_description.
