POWER ACCESSORIES

How can I keep the power brakes on my conversion?

In an ICE powered car, the power brakes are assisted by vacuum from the air intake. In an EV, this vacuum is provided by a small 12V vacuum pump, and a switch that turns the pump off when a high enough vacuum level is reached.

Can I have power steering in an EV?
