Investigation Of The Conversion Procedures For Fossil Fuel Vehicles To Electric Vehicles In Turkey

Globally, with the rapid growth of the population, the use of cars is also increasing. Although there is an increase in the use of electric vehicles, the vast majority of the vehicles used are internal combustion engine vehicles. Fossil fuel vehicles have disadvantages such as damaging the environment due to their high emission values, using non-renewable energy sources as fuel, high maintenance costs, and complex vehicle structures. Electric vehicles have many advantages such as being sensitive to the environment with a near-zero emission value, simple structures, low maintenance costs, and the use of renewable energy sources as fuel. Today, the reserve ratios of fossil fuels are rapidly depleting. Consumers tend to buy electric vehicles because of the environmental damage caused by fossil fuel vehicles due to the high emissions they emit, and because of the danger of depletion of non-renewable energy sources. The purchase of electric vehicles from the factory is difficult due to the few product varieties and the high prices in the market. It is possible for consumers to have electric vehicles with the features, colors, and models they want at much more affordable prices, by converting internal combustion engine vehicles to electric vehicles. Each country has its own regulations for the conversion process. Transformation operations in our country are carried out in accordance with the Regulations of the Ministry of Science, Industry, and Technology. There are ready-made conversion kits of different brands on the market that contain the components necessary for the conversion of internal combustion engine vehicles to electric vehicles. In this study, the advantages and disadvantages of internal combustion engine vehicles and electric vehicles, why conversion is necessary, and how conversion should be carried out will be discussed. Thanks to the conversion to an internal combustion engine, there will be a decrease in the emission of harmful gases to the environment, an economic contribution will be made to the country, and consumers will be able to have the vehicle they want at affordable prices.
