I believed I could do it: Warangal TV mechanic builds electric car with spare parts

G. Rajendra Prasad always dreamed of owning a car but due to his financial conditions, it never happened. However, Rajendra Prasad didn't give up. A year ago, the idea of building his own car dawned upon him and based on his self-taught knowledge about automobiles, he built an electric car.

A resident of Konapuram village in Warangal (Rural), Rajendra makes a living as a TV mechanic. He has always been an electronics fanatic. Almost a year ago, Rajendra began collecting second-hand spare parts that are usually discarded such as motors, iron rods, and more. In his free time, he studied various car models. "With the petrol and diesel prices skyrocketing, I felt that an electric car would be more useful. Also, electric cars don't cause pollution. I liked the idea of it," Rajendra says.
