When the engine is gone, all its associated parts such as gasoline tank, radiator, exhaust pipe and fuel distribution lines have no usage and to be removed as well. The electric motor is to be attached to the transmission via a customized coupling plate. To power the motor, a series of batteries is used. An average electric vehicle would need about 20 units of batteries. This is where choosing a truck would be advantages. A truck has a flatbed at the back and is great for storing the battery packs. It is not impossible to store all the batteries in a sedan, but it is challenging and you would have to make multiple battery racks. Using a truck, fixing the wiring, checking and maintaining the batteries are also easier.
