I have been trying to find this answer also, nothing has been any help. I'm in Novanet trying to finish my Physical Science course.
A gasoline motor powers a pump that extracts water from a lower source, such as a reservoir, and moves it uphill through a pipeline or channel. The water is stored in the reservoir until needed, at which point it flows down due to gravity to perform work, such as generating hydroelectric power or providing irrigation.
It is a tank that holds gasoline.
The "...convert a gas car to electric..." implies removal of the gasoline engine and replacing it with an electric motor, creating an all electric car. If on the other hand you intend to keep the gasoline engine and use it when the batteries are low, then you will have created a hybrid gasoline-electric vehicle. With that qualification, and the assumption that you meant a full conversion from gasoline to electric, then the answer to your question is that IF the gasoline engine is removed from service, then the computer "that controlled the gas engine and its components" is no longer necessary and can be removed also. Also, the portion of your question relating to the gasoline engine computer suggests your thinking that it could be reprogrammed somehow to control the electric motor. Since that computer is designed for and is dedicated to the gasoline engine, it cannot be be reprogrammed and used to control the electric motor(s).
Any hot object from which energy is extracted to do work. Within the cylinder of a gasoline engine is a high-temperature reservoir.
Gasoline is required to drive any non-electric car.
Gasoline or electric
I don't pick electric over gas.
Electric, Diesel, Gasoline
None. It's electric, so it doesn't carry gasoline. None. It's electric, so it doesn't carry gasoline.
One of the reasons electric cars have risen in popularity is due to their motors. The motors of electric cars are powered by an electric motor rather than a gasoline engine. The motors of electric cars allow you to save money on gasoline and still accelerate at high speeds.
Electric car's are constantly getting better. A lot of them are already more efficent then gasoline vehicles. As battery technology and public awareness of electric cars increase so will the production of electric vehicles causing a decrease in production of gasoline vehicles.
a gasoline engine and a electric moter.
