Compare, Compare, Compare!

At EVA, we ask that you.. Compare Our Products. Many EV component suppliers show every possible component on their web site. Our objective is to stock only the products we believe are best for 90% of EV users. So we encourage you to compare: The Advanced DC Motor to other motors. www.EVAlbum.com lists more than 2500 EVs (electric bicycles, scooters, cars, trucks, riding lawn mowers and more). It also lists manufacturers. Advanced DC Motors and Curtis controllers are the most popular. They are listed 4-5 times more frequent than their closest competitor. The reason is the reliability of this motor/controller combination. Compare performance. Advanced DC Motors provides motor curves for voltages up to 144V. Curtis controllers have smooth acceleration throughout its operating range. Curtis provides a complete Manual of ~50 pages to help guide in installation and troubleshooting. At EVA we are proud that we are consistent in our product offerings. We have seen too many manufacturers come and go in the EV business - leaving the customer without technical or parts support. For example, one controller manufacturer just moved to China leaving their U.S. customers without technical support. Compare Our Services At EVA “Customer Service is No. 1”. We provide the customer the information he needs before buying in order to purchase the best components for his application. EVA also provides a 1 inch Installation Manual and 1 hour DVD to guide the conversion process. We are also readily available by phone and email, if questions develop. In addition, our services continue with you and your EV after the sale. If you sell your vehicle, we serve the new owner. Basically, we are here to serve you for now and many years to come. Compare Our Prices Our prices are not only competitive, but they are probably the lowest Package Price you will find. In our EV Packages, we provide a detailed parts breakdown so you can see individual prices. You receive a package discount. You do not have to buy everything at once; you pay when the parts are shipped. Our price for shipping is also extremely low. Our shipping volume allows our shippers to give EVA significant discounts which are passed on to our customers. Thank you for comparing. It will allow you to have the best EV at the lowest price. Only One company is responsible. EVA assumes responsibility for system performance. EVA works with the manufacturers of EV parts to ensure an acceptable and cost effective system design for your Electric Vehicle! (Products Page)

Safety First Introduction

Introduction: Although Electric Vehicles (EVs) have been in existence for more than 100 years, their recent interest and development has occurred faster than the ability to establish industry standards. The purpose of this technical paper is to present the authors' experience in building an EV that can be safely operated and maintained as well as being crashworthy. The authors have extensive experience in building EVs and automotive testing. A good design results only from careful consideration of the specific EV being built. Each component and each modification to an existing vehicle must be considered relative to its impact on the conversion design and the safety of the overall vehicle. Therefore, any EV project should make use of a qualified engineer for critical decisions. The specific recommendations are intended to represent a conservative design for the protection of the driver, vehicle occupants, and the general public. There is no intention to supersede or negate any existing codes, standards, or governmental regulations. Safety is essential in any vehicle. We accept the explosive risk associated with gasoline vehicles because manufacturers have designed the vehicle to minimize the risk and everyone is aware of the risk. Similarly, everyone should be aware of the risk of electrical shock in an EV.
