ABSTRACT
Introduction
The goal of this project is to build an electric at a relatively low [American] cost. Typically electric cars are sold to the public at prices ranging from roughly $40,000[1] to $109,000[2]. This leaves many people unable to afford these new, more energy efficient vehicles, and are left to cope with a wild petroleum market. However, with a little time and at an affordable cost, an electric car can be built that is capable of fulfilling most daily commutes or errands.
