While I have my learner's permit, I am not allowed to drive alone. This gives me extra time (approximately 1 year) to build a car from scratch. While most young people (in Australia at least) build up old Australian or Japanese cars with a high-powered fuel-guzzling engine, whether large or small. I want to have a go with something different, an electric vehicle. While Australia still uses coal power, an EV would still emit less carbon dioxide than a regular, petrol-powered car.

I'm curious as to how difficult it would be to convert a car, for a first-time modifier, especially one who has never really worked on a car, apart from checking oil and tyre pressure, and whether it would be a good project for a full-time student, with all assignments and homework to be done.

Thanks
