Hi there.

From 2008 to 2010, a german inventor installed a 12V DC 400W electric motor to the alternator beltdrive of his Peugeot 206 HDI diesel, powered by a 12V starter pack you can recharge at home and reached 60.3 MPG. Without the help of the starter pack he reached 49.0 MPG. After this success he patented his invention.

In early 2011 it was shown on TV in Germany. At the end of the year the inventor said, that due to the fact that no one in Europe was interested in his invention, he is trying to introduce his invention in Asia.

He told that a conversion kit would have been about 1000€ - 1500€, depending on the options with/without additional solar cells in the car.

I'm asking myself if this could be done DIY. It sounds so easy to do.
