The Garage Converting Classic Cars to Electric Vehicles | Freethink DIY Science

Where are you located i have a 97 toyota tercel

I have a 1975 Monza Corvair. I bought it to be a showcase car for a program to train kids on auto engineering by turning classic cars into EVs. My partner flaked on me, but I’m gonna figure it out. This is inspiring. ❤

This Is Kinda Messed Up, It's A Shame The Boomers Can't See It, A 1960 Mercury Sedan With A Electric Conversion Isn't A Classic Anymore, It's Just A Tesla With A 1960 Mercury Exterior, And I'm Not Even Putting The 'Greenwashing' Factor Here.

Have ever converted a SAAB cab? If could you share some pics?

ok someone gimme 10,000 dollars i need this

I just bought a 67’ impala shell I want to make electric I can’t wait to get started

One of the ugliest things I ever saw in my life 😢🤮

These people give me hope for the future of old cars existing in the modern world.

The soul of these cars lives on!

Beautiful car with beautiful engineering turn into crap.... I'm sorry,,, 😭

Couple of suggestions...rather than turning them electric just at the engine area...Try converting em how EV cars are made today so that users can have a Frunk...tons of space in the cabin too to modify it minimally inside as well... Finally try creating an holder for the phone in the instrument panel so that though it's not all screens everywhere like now folks could make use of Navigation etc...

Noise! Give 'em a shoutout everywhere...

Sin

omg does it have auto pilot

My dream job is to partner with them and open EV South

You just spent around $25,000 to convert this car, and ruined the value of your vehicle. Collectors want all origional, not altered.

Bro, where are they at?

He needs his own company dealership r something

I bought a 1984 Cameron 2.8L v6 I really like v6's but I was considering using electric because the environment and gas prices also the power gains

I watch this video almost 3 times a day.

What brought me here was interest in converting either a uhall box truck or a step van to electric driven. How feasible is that?

🤮🤮🤮.

Give me a V8 any day.

I don't wanna see gorgeous classic cars getting defiled by being turned into electric garbage. 🤮🤮🤮

Wish i could learn about the actual process and not just how “fun it is”

Sir I am from India. And we are work for with you. I am also classical lover. But with zeroEmanation. I love to work with you

It’s pretty cool I’ll agree but the V8s are way better

This is hands down the most amazing idea.. I mean having a classic VW beetle running on battery is something VW should have thought about long ago.

Yaaay now they can be stuck charging it and playing to much for that depending on where they stop to charge it at. lol
Also all that electricity to charge your car does not always come from something like solar power.

Its so beauty it made me teared up 😌

Nope.

Oh guys you are ahead of me ! Keep it up

awesome..i'm sold!

i really wished that those shops are more commen then electric car can be cheaper and will be better for the environment since insted of making cars from scratch taking more resources and harming the enviroment instead we can take allready existing cars and convert since it will be less straining on the enviroment it will make things cheaper since you dont need toobuy a whole car you just have to replace certain parts and it will create allot of jobs

This is going to push me to build my own car, a DIY electric 2006 Dodge Charger SRT8.

Hi, I want to convert my Toyota RT80, Mark-1 Corona, floor gear, to electric. I am located in Pakistan.

How much does it cost though?

Cool but no mention to range? So, a single Tesla Cell, i.e. ~ 5.3kW 22V as Battery, gives you what? 15 Miles range?
The key between BEVs vs ICEs is range and recharging time. Range is comparable today but until you can recharge your car in ~ 5 - 7.5 minutes, most people will still prefer ICEs.

Amazing

Imagine the roads look like this again

Great to see you electrifying these old vehicles. I would hope you have learnt from Tesla around battery pack issues and 1 dead battery rendering the whole car almost undriveable. So you can develop a software that can bypass this and perhaps when 10 batteries have gone then the customer comes back in to have those replaced.
Otherwise like the Tesla there can be up to 7000 individual failure points (batteries).

I would love for them to convert my 01 Chevy Silverado to electric.

Real future green technologie is not produce new electric cars, it's transfome old gasoline car to electric car

Wish I had his number that's what I'm trying to do soon

I love this. It's so much better than buying new stuff. Converting old stuff is where it's at

These are no longer classic cars, the only way these conversions are acceptable is if you intend to use them as a daily driver, but if you butcher a classic car like that gorgeous Porsche or that Ferrari and keep it in a garage for most of a time you should be in jail because that's a fu***ng crime.

What insurance company cancels because of too many cars? It would make sense to want people to own more cars so they pay more for all of them.

I’m gonna have to beg this man to convert my future 1950s car to electric 😭

Why aren't we funding this?

It would be weird going to a classic car show and this is what they show.

You have to love the 250 mile range. HA! I'll keep the gas version
