EV Conversion Simulator

Check out the GreenLearning EV Conversion Simulator! This simulator was designed to give learners an introduction to the process of converting a gas-powered vehicle into an electric vehicle, and an overview of the differences between the two.

Explore the key components of ICE vehicles and EVs, and try your hand at a mock conversion of your own!

This pilot project offered high school students and educators in Calgary, Alberta, the opportunity to convert two internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to electric vehicles (EV) and install an electric vehicle charging station. We also worked with post-secondary institutions to determine opportunities for expanding learning at this level and ways to connect high school and post-secondary learning for the needs of future careers to support the EV transition.

The intention behind this pilot was to explore the connection between current automotive education in Alberta with novel, in-demand automotive skills needed to support the growing trends in electric vehicles. With the results of this pilot and by sharing our findings and experience we intend to help other organizations keep pace with this transition toward the electrification of transportation.

A Guide to Electrifying the Future

The purpose of this guide is to help other organizations, schools and groups interested in electric vehicles, conversions, and EV infrastructure bring similar opportunities to their community. We’ve done our best to ensure this resource shares our experience and suggestions as you evaluate starting off on an electric project of your own.

Motor Controller Simulator

In this digital simulator, you will embark on an exciting journey to explore the inner workings of the electrical system in an EV. Throughout this process, you will be learning about the different components that power the vehicle and how they are connected.

A big thank-you to our partners at UCalgary's Team Relectric for lending their expertise in the development of this simulator!
