How to Convert a petrol Car to Electric car with Hydraulic Power steering

In this video I will show you how to convert an old petrol car into complete EV keeping the power steering system as before using a separate motor.
As you can see in the video we took a heavy weight Ford sedan for our project of converting it into complete electric vehicle. As we have completely removed the IC engine of the vehicle the power steering mechanism coupled with the engine also got dead and the steering became very heavy. It is a big obstacle if you try to convert a vehicle of that size into complete EV. So to overcome this problem we used a different motor to energize the power-steering system which works properly.
I have used a 60V 3000W BLDC motor with 60V 4000W controller for powering the vehicle and as mentioned before a different BLDC motor of 60V 750W with 60V 750W controller to energize the pump for power steering.

[@emmanuelmoks3274]

This is great. An extra belt could be adapted to the motor to rotate a high capacity (say 90 Amps) alternator to power 12V DC for the vehicles electrical components. Again, a DC - DC converter can be used to bridge alternator and battery for auto-charging of battery (with a good charge controller to prevent over-charge from destroying the battery).

Con un sistema de poleas ...tipo fricción.... y si agregas un alternador mas grade creo que tendrías mas corriente para alimentar el motor y recargar la batería simultaneamente !!! Buen video adelante !!!!

[@chancho00]

If the ratio of the steering wheel pulley is the same like the motor or 1-1 ratio then you should connect both the same way the main motor is mounted the way to no waste energy on the pulleys and belt due to friction, also you should ad a variable control circuit that turns on the steering system just when its needed, not on all the time.

[@guerrerojuntos6417]

"also you should ad a variable control circuit that turns on the steering system just when its needed, not on all the time" yeah im thinking the same should to reduce battery consuming in emergency time if needed or make it automatic turn of in idle and the pulley ratio driver 2-1 .. just thought

I want to see a car conversion with automatic transmission. and since all the systems of the on-board computer remain, does this modification in an automatic car work? How is the air conditioning system and cooling system?

[@Tore_Lund]

Stay away from automatic gearboxes for ev conversions. they are less efficient than manuals and you rarely need gears at all in an EV. Likevise with AC and powersteering. You might get away with an electric powersteering rack, as they only use power when turning the wheel with force, but the exercise here is to make as efficient a vehicle as possible, so preferable you get a motor that has enough torque to drive the differential directly, which has around 1:4 gearing, so you don't need a gearbox at all.
