Nice build. It git me thinking about a setup for a food truck❤

Please, make this a series.

Thanks for this video.

This is a nice build!!

Hello EV4U, can you tell me the name of the repair book u are referring to in this video. Also the bushing, where can I purchase one? Ty

Thank you ! Now what do I need to convert my 1968 Firebird and make it faster?

Do you guys run a workshops or courses for DIYers who are not in the auto business?

Great explanaton ! Ever 👍

Great video, how much would you say this could cost to be professionally done?

4 months start to finish on that sounds like you got it done fairly quickly. It's too bad the build quality of the new trailers is not good the prices I've seen were not cheap they should be able to produce a good quality product for the prices they charge. I hope everything works well for you guys. It might be a good idea to find a good used frame and build a box on it and start with that. Thanks for sharing that with us.

Wasn’t the reason the VW engineers used a nylon bushing was to not transfer the noise from the transaxle/engine into the cab. The same reason had they put rubber bushings on the shifter rod transaxle connector . Wouldn’t using a bronze bushing defeat that.

I gather this amazing ride has no hvac of any kind for the occupants ?

I’m just gathering thoughts at this stage. Are there pros and cons about taking an existing setup eg motor, controller, battery from a Nissan leaf for a conversion, vs buying new kit parts?

Great series. It’s feeding my brain so I can start thinking about sensible questions.

Any batteries for sale?

Thank you for helping people electrify.

Ive been tuning in to this channel since 2013 and followed this bugs developments. I think you guys are super generous 👏👏👏 congratulations

Great video! I always don't believe in EV oem designer, who drop out the gearbox. Next step is put the gear box into EV to increase 3-4 time the range of the EVs

That's a nice looking car, color and all. The old bugs are neat looking and I really don't care about the year as long as they look like the old ones. It's street legal without the bumpers? I would like to convert my truck if I can make it do what I want it to do.

Screaming deal, is there room to relocate and restore a backseat? Would love something the family could cruise in

I noticed you were shifting gears, does EV motor feel same as gas motor when you shift? Beautiful car and conversion.

Being that by law, a vehicle must make a sound while in motion, do the noises from the motor, tire tread and transmission (plus whatever else I might be leaving out) all typically prove sufficient enough on your conversions?

can we use engine break on this like the gas engine on a 300 meter downhill?

Have you had the opportunity to try any of the axial flux motors like the one in the Mercedes EV made by Yasa or any of the others? Thanks

It is noisy but you don't have to try to sleep with the noise just the sound of the crickets, hopefully not. That's really cool and looks like it works great.

Would it be better if you put 1/16" thick or thicker of neoprene or some tough rubber over the ABS sheet?

27:56 5 hours @ 1,200 Watts = 6,000 watt-hours, not 6,000 Watts, easy to overlook when standing and talking! :)

Is it possible to make an EV that charges while running / driving around? Seems like it should work in theory somehow but im a beginner and havent heard of this feature in vehicle.

Very cool! Nice work, very very good!!😊

I dearly hope that these kind of shops pop up everywhere in the next few years. Rebuild instead of replace. Reuse instead of junk it.

Creative

great info. Im converting my 280 zx to electric in three weeks

Know anyone that can add electric take off assist to an existing manual and leave the ICE or any examples.

Me gustó cómo esplicastes todo fue perfecto .Carolina del Norte

beautiful paint. Fun car.

Great video, Richard, I really enjoyed it.

what did you use to make the "cart"?

❤❤❤❤ Thanks

Maybe I missed it, but it looks like you measured from the original engine block to get the magic number for how far off to set the flywheel. But there was a space between the block and bell housing. Wouldn’t one need to measure from the spacer to get the correct number?

Make every effort to keep your back vertically straight as you work. Bending forward over your work will put unnecessary strain on lumbar and sacral structures. Try bending at the knees instead. Basic martial arts stances are even better (retired therapist & van dweller)

Beautiful

So glad I found this channel! Love this stuff!

The idea of having electric cars is intriguing and absolutely the way I want to go with my classic vw but dollar for dollar it’s just not the best option

@20:00 I tape my plastic threads if there is not a pex cone washer in the female fitting. no leaks.

Does anyone know the name of the electric window kit? I have it in my Jeep but im not finding a brand name etc. and my passenger window isnt working however i need parts. thank you!!!

There is no caption available for these wonderful videos. There for I am not able to benefit fully. I just rely on body language and black board, Since I am deaf.

Love the info and appreciate the idea.....buuuut. Started looking into converting as an option for a commuter car and thought that DIY would be a way to save some money. Here's where the but comes in, 18K for the kit!!!? Then add on a vehicle to put it in!!! For something decent that's not a rust bucket you're looking at another 8-10K Then all the labor to make it happen. Affordable should not be a work use in this context, sorry.

Nice project! I'm curious to see how it ends and especially to see how it's done. Good work.

looking forward to following this project!

Excelente 👍
