This EV conversion is well executed at the trunk area, with the wheel and brake combo it makes one think of a car render imo which is quite n unique look.
Hi, Really don't have drawings as I build on the fly and design in my head as needed. I make mini notes for myself as far as measurements but never drawing unless I'm doing a drawing for a CNC part. The Mustang is actually the best platform I discovered. Even though the Camaro or Challenger would have been nice they are too heavy and too expensive for a donor. I kept coming back to the Mustang after looking at a lot of cars.
Such a beautiful and tidy build! Congratulations! It's great motivator for me! Question. How did you connect the HV wiring from the charger to the battery? Is there another set of contactors? What disables the drive inverter when in charge?
There's 2 schools for charging. Before contactors or use an extra contactor. I charge before the contactors. So the motor is off. I run my DC to DC charger, my water pump and cooling fan when charging. I think it's still the same but I sold to AEM-EV so they may have changed something. The new Silver Mustang build is the same way I did the black one.
@@ruggedplus Yes they are but nothing is happening, it's just sitting there waiting for its next charging assignment after the car is parked and shut off. Just plug it in.
Thank you friend for sharing we all liked your work it was the Audi of Sam too good but you was clear in and better than him because you explain all with screen shot record lol than again
It is Canbus using there EVCC. I'm running 386 volts right now. I'm running the TS 2500 hundred. I do have a gen 2 tesla charger but waiting for the updated Damien Mcguire board to be finalized.
I changed the Pre charge resistor to two 100 watt 50 ohm resistors in series. Of course BMS is coming, it only takes 192 wires plus thermistor wires and about $2000 for the BMS . If you have a better solution for BMS for 12 batteries that are 16s each I am open for suggestions.
Hi, right now I'm finishing this one up and I have not sat down and done the numbers to actually see what I've spent on parts and time to do the conversion. Maybe after Christmas I'll have done the numbers and would know better. I have not really thought about doing one for anyone else but I've had so much fun doing this build I may do another.

Good work! I am so jealous. Mine wont' be done for another year.
Looks great, can't wait to see a video of it launching from a full stop.
is there a shifter that could be more secure? rather than a rocker that could be accidently knocked?
Do you have drawings of your battery boxes and motor mounts? You’ve got us looking at Mustangs now! Thanks!

@@Roadstercycle I see. So, if I understood correctly, when you do run the motor (consuming), the charger outputs are still connected to the batteries?
@@ruggedplus Yes they are but nothing is happening, it's just sitting there waiting for its next charging assignment after the car is parked and shut off. Just plug it in.
@@Roadstercycle Got it. Thanks for helping me understand.
wish i was your neighbor :)
Great job. Looking forward to some driving video!
Man your going to make us wait until next season to see this beauty roll. LOL
Looks good. Total cost not including car?
About $15,000. Add donor car $5,000,= $20,000
How’s the weight distribution on this?
I've been meaning to weigh and see. I'll do it soon as I've been working on the digital dash and it's been consuming a lot of my time.

wow ! wow ! wow !!! congratulation !
Thank you Marc.
What thunder struck model of charger are you running, what voltage did you select and is it CAN or non CAN?
It is Canbus using there EVCC. I'm running 386 volts right now. I'm running the TS 2500 hundred. I do have a gen 2 tesla charger but waiting for the updated Damien Mcguire board to be finalized.
Wow well done well done
great job,
Thank you, still doing some final steps to make it clean as possible. More video coming!
Pre Charge resistor looks real small. You planning on getting a BMS so you do not burn this project down?
I changed the Pre charge resistor to two 100 watt 50 ohm resistors in series. Of course BMS is coming, it only takes 192 wires plus thermistor wires and about $2000 for the BMS . If you have a better solution for BMS for 12 batteries that are 16s each I am open for suggestions.
how much will you charge to do my car older mustang?
