Here are four EV resources

  • battery comparison spreadsheet (and check out the other EV Tools on this site)
  • calculators (and the assumptions/forces behind them) for all aspects of decision-making during a conversion
  • very technical but incredibly readable explanation of solenoids
  • how to calculate cost-per-mile of an EV
