Build Your Own

Electric Vehicle

About the Authors

Seth Leitman (Briarcliff Manor, NY) is currently

President and Managing Member of the ETS Energy

Store, LLC, which sells organic, natural, and

sustainable products for business and home use (from

energy efficient bulbs to electric vehicle conversion

referrals). Previously, he worked for the New York

State Power Authority and the New York State Energy

Research and Development Authority, where he

helped develop, market, and manage electric and

hybrid vehicle programs serving New York State and

the New York metropolitan area. Seth is the consulting

editor for a series of upcoming titles called the

“Green Guru Guides,” which focus on implementing

environmentally friendly technologies and making

them work for you.

Bob Brant was the author of the first book, and some

might say ahead of his time in his passion to convert to

electric. The first edition of this book was published in

1993. While there have obviously been updates and

technological advances since that time, many of the

concepts in that first book are still in use today.

Bob grew up in New York City, got a BSEE, and

worked on NASA projects such as Apollo, Lunar

Excursion Module, and the Earth Resources

Technology Satellite. He then went on to get an

MSEE and MBA, and worked for a company that

worked on the Lunar Rover. Bob was always

fascinated with every electric vehicle breakthrough,

was convinced of its personal and environmental

benefits, and was curious why stronger steps had

not been taken to make electric vehicles a reality.

Seth Leitman and everyone at McGraw-Hill would

like to think of this updated edition as a tribute to

Bob and other forward thinkers like him.
