How To Build An Electric Car Battery

- by Evelyn Stewart

I love my electric car. It’s reliable, efficient, and fun to drive. But the battery is a big part of why it works so well—and it’s also one of the most expensive parts of an electric vehicle. If you have some basic knowledge of electricity and aren’t afraid of doing some simple DIY projects in your garage, you can build your own battery for much less than what dealers charge for prebuilt batteries.

Buy a battery

You can purchase a battery from a number of different places. You can buy one from your local auto parts store, or you may be able to find one online. You will want to make sure that the battery is compatible with the car that you are building, as well as having enough capacity and voltage for your vehicle. If possible, try to locate an electric car battery that has been used in another electric vehicle before so it will already have some life on it when installed in yours!

The size and shape of each type of electric car battery will vary depending on what kind they are (e.g., lead acid vs lithium ion), but they’re generally quite large and rectangular-shaped (though there are some exceptions).

Connect the battery to a charge controller and inverter

To get your battery up and running, you’ll need to connect the positive and negative terminals of your car battery to a charge controller. The charge controller regulates the flow of electricity from your power source (a solar panel or other renewable energy source) into your inverter. The inverter converts this DC current into AC current so that it can be used in your home or office.

To install a solar-powered electric car battery charger system:

  • Connect the positive terminal from an existing 12V lead acid automotive battery

Big Profits in the Used Car Business

- by Evelyn Stewart

There’s no doubt about it: the used car business is an amazing investment. It’s a simple formula that doesn’t take a lot of time or money to get set up, and you can quickly reap the rewards of being your own boss. If you’re interested in getting into the used car business but aren’t sure where to start, here are some tips to help get you started with your entrepreneurial journey:

Buy Cheap, Sell Cheap

In the used car business, there’s a saying: “Buy cheap, sell cheap.” The idea is that you can make money by buying used cars at deep discounts and then selling them for more than you paid.

It sounds simple enough, but it’s not as easy as it sounds. You need to know how to buy cars cheaply–and how they’re priced in the first place–in order to make this work for you.

No Need to Purchase Cars in Bulk

If you’re like most used car dealers, the thought of buying cars in bulk is appealing. It makes sense: If you buy 10 cars at once, for example, instead of one at a time (or even two), then you can save money on shipping and advertising costs. And if the market is good and demand is high, it might seem like an easy way to make more profit. But there are several reasons why this strategy doesn’t work well in practice:

  • Buying too many cars at once means that your capital will be tied up in inventory for longer than necessary–and if sales aren’t good enough to sell all those vehicles quickly, then both profits and losses could mount quickly as well!
  • This approach also encourages overspending on each individual purchase; because there’s no need to monitor cash flow closely while waiting for payments from customers who

How To Get The Most Value For Your Used Car

- by Evelyn Stewart

When you’re looking to sell your used car, it’s a good idea to go into the process with as much information about the vehicle’s value as possible. While the Kelley Blue Book is a great resource for this information, it’s important that you have other data points as well. Fortunately, there are many ways to figure out what your car is worth and get a sense of what kind of price range you should aim for when selling it.

Know the value of your car.

Before you even think about selling your car, it’s important to know what it’s worth. You can check Kelley Blue Book, Edmunds and NADA Guides for an idea of market value, but there are also other ways to get a real sense of what your vehicle is worth.

  • Ask a trusted mechanic: A good mechanic will be able to give you an honest appraisal of how much they think your car is worth based on its age and condition.
  • Get recommendations from friends and family: If someone has recently bought or sold a similar vehicle, ask them how much they paid when they were looking at buying/selling options. This can help give you insight into whether or not now might be an opportune time for selling yours too (or if maybe waiting until later would yield greater returns).
  • Look at similar cars online: Searching online will provide an idea as well–just make sure not only are these other vehicles listed at similar prices in terms of mileage etc., but also take into account any additional features that may set yours apart!

Try to sell during a time of year that has more buyers.

The best time to sell your car is when there are more buyers. If you want to get the best value for …

Technology Expectations For The Future Of Automotive

- by Evelyn Stewart

The automotive industry is no stranger to change. Over the years, it has seen several developments that have completely reshaped the way we think about cars. From internal combustion engines to hybrid powertrains and electric vehicles, today’s automobiles are becoming smarter than ever before. The future of automotive technology promises even more innovation in this space: driverless cars, smart roads and highways, 3D scanning technologies — these are some of the trends you need to know about.

Driverless vehicles

Driverless vehicles are a reality. They’re safer than human drivers and will become the standard in 20 years, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

In fact, driverless cars will be on the roads by 2030 according to Goldman Sachs’ predictions. This means that your children may never have to drive themselves anywhere again!

Electric cars

Electric cars have been around since the late 1800s, but they never really caught on due to their limited range and high cost. However, electric vehicles are now better than ever and are becoming increasingly popular.

Electric vehicles benefit from a number of advantages over internal combustion engines (ICEs). For example:

  • They’re more efficient than ICEs because they don’t need an external source of power like gasoline or diesel fuel–they generate their own electricity from onboard batteries or regenerative braking systems that convert kinetic energy into usable energy. This means that electric cars can travel farther on fewer resources than traditional vehicles; it also makes them cheaper to run overall because there are fewer maintenance costs associated with traditional fuels like gasoline or diesel fuel.* Electric motors produce less noise than internal combustion engines do when running at high speeds.* Electric cars typically offer smoother acceleration because there’s no transmission between gears; this makes them easier and safer for novice drivers who may
