Car? What does it mean to you. Have your ever tried to build one? If no then where to start? If yes then how far you know?

Ask me anything. In my 4 years of undergraduaion I have seen a total of 3 cars. I think I gained pretty much knowledge in all the sub systems of the car. Attaching photo of the car that we built in 2k17-18 academic year

So let's start a healthy discussion and learn simultaneously benefiting the community.

I've not tried to build one, but recently interested in finding out if my Alfa Romeo 147 which is currently off the road could be converted to electric. A friend just bought a car and drove it to Poland for this purpose.

Wow! that sounds interesting. you want to make hybrid one(both combustion and electric) or completely electric?. Conversion to electric completely involves removing of combustion engine and use torque metering devices in all the four wheels which will be run by a electric battery. These torque metering devices will have electric motors which provide required traction for wheel. Each device provides different torque to different wheels based on road conditions and help in maintaining optimum tire grip.

If you want to make a off road vehicle,you must have a much rigid chassis than your Alfa romeo one I guess. Because Alfa romeo is a monocoque chassis which is integral with the body and cannot withstand higher forces from off road conditions.


monocoque chassis.

I was thinking of a pure electric conversion for road use. i guess in reality it could take me sometime to have the spare funds for this though.
