Learn on Monday, wrench smarter on Sunday. Today: Electric Conversions!

Introducing a NEW series on /DRIVE, aimed at educating you to build a faster, better, more reliable car:  /ENGINEERED. We want to empower our fellow enthusiasts to know more, and do more, by learning from some of the best engineers in the game. 

This week we talk to the geniuses at EV West about their passion for converting the drive trains of classic cars from gas to electric. We wanted to know what it takes, what the response is, and how complicated it is. You may scream "blasphemy", but you'll be surprised how fast they can be. Just ask Matt Farah: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVkJjt_Peg0

 V West built a race car that ran really well at the pikes peak hill climb. We realized we were onto something big with electric drive trains. Looking at new avenues and possibilities with electric drive trains.

 The amount of energy that you can put in a battery pack is increasing every year and the container that we're using to store the electrons is getting more and more energy dense. So comparing electric drive train to gas is a little bit mudd

 Electric Motorsports is really exciting time in motorsports. We've got a lot of events being open to electric entries. We're gonna see some really exciting advances in motor inverter and gearbox technology.

 check out electric drive trains, they're pretty awesome, there's a lot to offer, and you'll probably find it enjoyable once you understand the units measurements and basic outlines of the system.
