A good book/e-book to learn about EV conversion

[traunt]

As some of you may know I wil be starting my EV conversion very soon and I am very keen to make sure every things goes well.

I have downloaded many different books and all of them seem to be junk that promote something or the other.

I want something that will guide me through the conversion process and all the problems I might have and also provide some tips. I dont mind paying good $$ for something worthwile.

SO is there anything you guys can recommend?

I dont really know about any good book to reccommend you but I just wanted to alert you about the scams on the internet. My brother recently purchased what claimed to be the ultimate guide to converting a car + online support... but it all ended up to be a scam, the guy disappeared a couple days later, there website was gone in around 5 days. So it was a wate of money, so pls be alert and dont fall into any traps.

I recommend this one by Bob Bran - "Build Your Own Electric Vehicle"
Great book with examples. It uses a pick-up truck conversion to really simplify the whole process...

The one that Mac recommended is pretty good, I would also like to add these ones...

Gary Powers - “From Gasoline to Electric Power ~A Conversion Experience” - costs around $10
S. Leitman - 'Build Your Own Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle' - costs a bit more

Thanks for these guys, I'll keep them handy for when I need it. 20-30 dollars isnt a big amount as long it has something useful in it!
