honestly I think that finding a car like this or one with a wrecked drive train and converting it is the future. It's less waste going into the environment, probably the same price or even slightly higher (which is made up for in the fuel savings/ maintenance) than re-kitting it with traditional components, and a more punchy throttle than with a normal gasoline engine. you guys and especially YOU Jehu are a huge influence in my passion for sustainable EV and I really hope that my first car out of college will be something like this. thank you so much
Actually, more waste will go into the environment if we spend time, effort and resources to produce those batteries. the process of which has not won any awards yet with biologists. So here it is. A perfectly fine car. Sure, the mileage isn't perfect, but that really is the only thing you can say about it. You're not saving the planet by swapping in a battery. You're increasing the problem. Instead of buying a new car or retrofitting an old one, which basically is the same as buying a new car in terms of what needs to be produced, you could also just drive your existing car. But no, instead of making sense, we're going to woo the public with some CO2 bullshit, make them trade in their cars and help the autmotive branch a big deal with these more expensive alternatives. Sure, you have a "punchy throttle" but I dare you right here and now, you take that battery leadsled of yours and I'll take a standard 356. We're both going to stop as fast as we can. Now, ofcourse we both know who is going to win this, so thats not the challenge here. The question is how many multitudes shorter my stopping distance is. Oh, and for shits and giggles, we should do the Elk-test too. Not to prove what is better, because everybody knows. It's all about how many multitudes it is better. And here you are, applauding the devolution of the automotive products. Not only that, you actually perceive this as evolution, despite all the physics in the world proving otherwise. And all that because you were told a fairytale about CO2. Anybody who takes 5 minutes time to look shit up themselves will find out that every week, many scientific peer reviewed papers come out proving the exact opposite. Now, if you'll excuse me, i need to tweek at my 2.5kg bottle of CO2 hooked up to my aquarium. 3x growth rate just isn't enough. Maybe we can hit 4x if I dial it up just that little more.... What do you think?
@@MichaelOZimmermannJCDECS Has it ever occurred to you that _YOU_ are the one that needs to be educated? Do you have any idea of the number of scientific papers that show all kinds of factors that we are only recently finding out that were never even factored into their AGW bullshit train? Judging by the name you have given yourself, I doubt you will be modest enough to admit that you might not know anything, but I had to try.

I don't have a car. I don't even have a drivers license (starting this year) but I suddenly am interested in restoring cars and also converting cars to electric ones. The videos are also very relaxing.

The more hands, the more collaboration, the better. There are a whole lot of cars on the road that need conversion!
Amazing build. I like how the transmission was saved and used. I wonder what the price tag for a build like this would be. Personally I'd rather own this fiberglass electric replica Speedster than a real vintage gasoline powered Speedster. I live in Hawai'i so this would be the perfect weekend island cruiser. Mahalo nui Jehu for sharing this great video.
It's really good, you should do episode 2. Nobody would have seen this on... Whatever network it trying out for... I'm sure you'd have a lot of support to do a documentary style series on build a custom EV. Just encouraging you to propose something like that on patrion or something!
A great video demonstrating the very best in the unity of everyone who works at EV West. It would be a real pleasure to work there, and each new day is exciting to see progress happen. You are pioneers who will always be able to convert the 'classics', and in doing so, contributing to the greening of this Planet! May this continue. Greetings from Australia.
A very Great video, showing how eazy it was to put in the main components. The passion for EV's came across from the shop. Maybe in two years time, you will do a comparison. Showing how things ( Components ) have moved on, on your quest for more efficiency in EV's. Thank You.
This is good work. I fully intend to drive my car until an electric conversion becomes available to me. Not sure when that will be in my country, but all I know is that barring extraordinary circumstance I will not buy another ICE car.
Nothing can go wrong if Dr. Strange is in charge of your vehicle conversion. Keep it up guys! You're incredibly amazing! I wish I could commission you any vehicle, if only I wasn't so far away from your country.
damnnnn they have a neat setup! That car must be so expensive $$$$. However, the good thing in US, there not so much inspection or police check involved when you modify your car. Here in Quebec. Canada is another story!
I see a sizable market for Boxster conversions as the IMS and cylinder scoring catches up with them. I'll certainly look into this when my 2.7 wears out or blows up.
This car....this car....this car is so beautiful, I wanted to cry! AND the fact that it's electric is AWESOME! If only ALL mechanics were this knowledgable, ethical and just downright cool! I thoughly enjoyed watching the "coversion" process from beginning to end. BARVO guys! BUT, the shot of Trent getting into the car near the seashore at sunset......aaaahhhhh, like watching a dream!!!! Thank you for sharing!
I must say I was happy to see it was just a replica, I'm all for new normal cars becoming electric and certain fun restomods....but an actual Speedster should be left the hell alone...
While bolting the HV wires on the motor controller you should be using an insulated spanner(16:10)! We did short a module in our battery pack once by not using insulated allens and there were sparks everywhere. Gotta be careful!
Nice video and what a great shop. Glad to hear you're encouraging other people to convert their cars. There was a time if you wanted an electric car you had to make it yourself. A lot of stuff was happening back in the 90s that seems to just have been forgotten. I went to three electric car events in coco beach Florida called the " Sunday challenge.. part of the event was to drive our cars from Cocoa Beach to Disney World 76 miles. We had three hours to do it and the roads were blocked off by the police so we didn't have to stop at traffic lights. When we got to Disney World which we got into for free we parked our cars and showed them off to the public . At the time 20 golf cart batteries was the standard setup 120 volts with a Curtis controller and I Advance DC was the popular setup . They had gotten grant money to put this all on and when the money was gone the event stopped. I started my own event in my own hometown and how did every year for the next 18 years, in 2014 I moved and never started a car event in the new town I moved to.
One of my favorite cars from one of the best shops around, thanks for videoing this and sharing! Can't wait until I can have you do a 356 replica for me one day!
My brother had an old Triumph Spitfire that would have been perfect for this type of conversion. Thought of converting it in 2002 but the methods and technology these days far surpass what was available back then.
Ugga duggas the bellhousing bolts and flywheel bolts. Then explains the importance of torquing up the clutch pressure plate..... Don't take that as dissing your work though. That's one nicely engineered car. Credit to you.
Your dedication to perfection from the planing and engineering,through to fruition is commendable. The professional way in which the video was both produced and edited was most interesting.I wish you and your team every success in the world. I feel certain that you have inspired the minds of a great many up and coming engineers in this field. Thank you !
Ok I LOVE the 356, but that 914 looks like it could be a rocket. I would love a 356-C EV in AWD. The idea of an AWD with that instant torque would be flat out amazing.
I’m stoked you get to post this to your channel! I know it’s a huge project, but I’ll admit, I want you to make shows about your Rivian adventures, when you get it. 😎
Great idea,I have a Speedster and this is something I would be interested in, would like to know more ie cost ,how miles you can drive in day, how long before a recharge,seriving,
The video is very well made, good editing, good choice of music. Overall this channel has a nice "infrastructure". Good stuff *Jehu* , Congrats! - Saludos!
Bollocks did you watch the video? it was cutting to the next shot every few seconds most of the time, how in anyones mind can that be good editing, unless your attention span is even shorter than that.
I think it would be cool to have Doug DeMuro review this car! He is now in San Diego and well you know its Doug so it would be fun to watch. Just saying it would be cool and it would be good publicity for EV West!!!!!!!!!!
@@monteharrison1478 I'm not so sure about that. I have a VW I want to convert to electric and I may not have the full amount of cash on hand but with my excellent credit I'm pretty sure I could finance a project like this. I would not be interested in financing a $40,000 electric conversion but maybe up to $30,000. If it is in my price range I just have no idea what this stuff cost but does it not mean I am not capable of coming up with the dough.
Bravo. JehuGarcia, Ive been in the hobby since way back (Pals with you from DIYElectric car as Todayican2) Admitting that you guys didnt make it is some rare authenticity in this "RUclips World" Good On Ya Man!
I really love this. Even that beatle that they had in the background converted to electric is awesome. I remember having a beatle and it was super unreliable, mind you, it was a couple of decades old. But blowing new life into one with a electric motor and making it reliable again , I really like that idea.
Great job. I attended Cerritos college electrical car program 1994 which I meet t zero creator who sold his car to Elon musk who created the Tesla. At that time , I made go electric go cart that was fast. I tried it at golf in stuff in Downey. They wanted me to make them twenty cars, but I was still student. I work in IT that I work in Midwest and all over United States. I would love to work on electrical cars again. Keep it real. Downey California
Small world. My dad used to take me to the go karts at Golf n stuff in Downey when I was a kid. I think it was on Firestone. Lots of great memories with Dad at that place. Living on the other side of the planet now, but I often think of Downey, Whittier, Pico Rivera area.
Frank Martinez, you mean Alan Cocconi, who with Martin Eberhard replaced the lead acid batteries with 18650 cells, who later went on to cofound Tesla with Marc Tarpennjng in 2003, which later Elon invested in and got rid of the founders and rewrote history to say he was a cofounder?
The T-Zero was an uncompromising monster: Alu space frame and thin fiberglass body. Sad they never made it to production but sold out to Elon that only wanted to bolt electric motors to Mercedes chasises and call it a day.
@@Tore_Lund I have one of the controllers and motor that they were selling at the time. I believe it was called AC propulsion. Never got to use it still in the box.

I'm glad to see an elegant EV conversion, most I've seen on youtube are funky and don't really follow the aesthetics of the car. really amazing work!
Thanks Jehu for letting me discover EVWEST few years ago, the majority of my parts in my conversion are from them !
I like watching and listening to people who know their staff👌👌
Nice to see some technical stuff about the process including the motor.
Great documentary. Worthy of a TV series. Velocity needs this.
The Porsche came out beautiful! Really cool project...
Kudos on the high production value of the video too.
VW not Porsche.
Great quality here Jehu. All of your work over the last few years has paid off.
the phenomenally attractive looks of this vintage car make a beautifully engineered electric drive concept shine even brighter. well done
One word.....AWESOME 😉👍I’ve never seen such professionalism in the many industries I’ve been with, next to my military days 👍
Great job Jehu. Awesome production and story telling. You keep getting better and better. Terrific subject Porsche and Electric cars!
Leaders, many years from now grown up kids will be thanking companies like you. Super vid

Beautiful beautiful beautiful. You guys are the cosmic future hope of classic cars and mother natures band aid. Big love. X
Wow, I'm impressed. Style, power and smarts in a single car. Very professionally converted, kudos to this company!
This is so cool!

Great work. 👍
Me! Gas only!!!!
Very nice. If they had a part not in the shelf they turn or print it! What a dream to be employed there 😊
This is a beautifully made video, and showcases some really talented and wise people. Thank you, please keep them coming, keep up the good work!
Time Jehu's bus got some paint - want to see that finished in video with all the chrome trim and looking as good as the Porsche. Great video.
me too
I want to see you someday convert a truck or semi. that would be great.
You always see regular porches converted to electric, it's great to see this kit car porche done up very nicely. 👍
The speedster is by far one on my cars!

I would have liked to hear a price tag for that conversion . Nice clean shop too.
Probably in the ballpark of 50-60k.
While bolting the HV wires on the motor controller you should be using an insulated spanner(16:10)! We did short a module in our battery pack once by not using insulated allens and there were sparks everywhere. Gotta be careful!

Very, very well done. considering building a replica Speedster and will be calling you or coming by to visit.
My brother had an old Triumph Spitfire that would have been perfect for this type of conversion. Thought of converting it in 2002 but the methods and technology these days far surpass what was available back then.
D Main a friend showed me his Triumph Herald, stuck in a garage. I immediately got ideas.
You guys are making sure the future is cool .. great job.
I've been hanging for more EV West videos, but I understand they are a business and can get quite busy, so glad to see Jehu showing us more of them.
I just love 3D CAD and laser cut metal components. Makes life easy.
Thanks Jehu. I love these build videos! More More More!
Love it. Thanks for taking the lead on this.
What a beautiful car!!!!.💖
Wow!! THAT is one NICE ride! Excellent work!
Great job Jehu!
Simply beautiful: workmanship, videography, editing. Awesome!
Good to see 3x Garcias in the cast list !
YEAH! That's some quality content. Nice production values!
Awesome video as always. Please can we have a video on that Pinzgauer EV...
*Beautiful car.* It will last longer in the electric version.
We can be very happy that it was kept alive for the electricity age.

Used to watch Pimp my Ride and always wished to see ..pimping to something like this..Way Cool!!!! :-)
That is a lot of torque going through a pretty petite diff and half axles!

Yes .. but not every classic cars suits electrification .. but .. Fiero .. Miata or MR2 .. (with dead petrol engines) seems to be perfect ...
This is top g I nn car rhogh
Excellent and tidy work 👍👍👍👍👍
This is nice love the Porsche. Looks great. Can a leaf owner get a battery upgrade from evWest.

I really enjoyed watching this. Thanks for sharing.
