William Gould started converting a Nano car to electric power at the start of the trip and stayed at BVRIT to work on it while the others visited the girls school. By the third week of the trip after David Harrington came back to help work on it as well. A few changes still need to be made pending the UMass Lowell students return to the US where they can mail the remaining parts needed to complete the conversion.
The Tata Nano is the worlds cheapest car and cost about $2,500USD.
Affordable cars are needed in India, and making it electric just adds to the affordability.
The main purpose of the project was to demonstrate the concepts of an electric vehicle to the BVRIT Students.
The last of the available parts are installed, and the car is ready to drive as soon as the BVRIT students receive the rest of the parts.
