Trying to Charge the Tesla Swapped Benz on a Public Fast Charger - Fellten Battery Swap Ep. 3

  • Well we have our new Fellten batteries installed and mounted in place on the Tesla swapped Mercedes 300CD. We have our charging port fixed underneath our stock gas cap location. And we have all of our high voltage wiring made, routed, and hooked up. The next step is finishing all of the wiring on our 12v system to power everything from our lights, to our dash (that we still have to install), and all of our other accessories.
    Once our fuse box is in place and all of our small gauge cables are ran, we can finally take the car out for a drive with the new batteries AND see if we can get it to charge off of a public fast charging station!
    Make sure to like and subscribe because we're going to be installing the air ride in this EV swapped. We're also getting the LS swapped Mercedes on the Dyno really soon and getting the Godzilla swapped Lincoln Continental out on the road! You're not going to want to miss the end of any of these builds!

    You dont need to justify why you did the swap to your own car. It's yours and thats a good enough answer for the haters. Awesome build

      Well said.
      Other people can go buy their own car and restore it to factory if they want.

      It’s also faster and cheaper than a gas or diesel power train and almost entirely maintenance free. This one also looks great imo 😊

    I think this should be done to ALL non-perfomance classic cars. Keep these beauties on the road without the mechanical issues and pollution.

      What do you think is going to happen to the old batteries he is no longer using? You think the way we "recycle" things like that from a global aspect, i.e how we ship it across oceans to be stripped and and sorted in the MOST cost effective manor in nations with minimal pollution standards. Now times that by... Hundreds of thousands? Millions? Is going to be "good" or even better for the world? What a joke, you've been fooled.

    Swapping regular cars to EV is really cool. I always wanted to add an electric motor to the rear and keep the 4 cylinder in front.

      There is a company that offers in-wheel motor swaps to turn a 2-wheel drive car into 4-wheel drive.

    So now... all you need is that preparation for "in case of emergency"... so hide a couple of solar panels somewhere so if you are in the middle of nowhere, you can EVENTUALLY get your batteries charged up. I guess one of those Jackery or Eco-Flow systems would work just as well... but it won't be fast -that's for sure. This was very well done the first time... but it just goes to show how quickly tech becomes obsolete so major improvements can be made. Very nice! I hope the owner is well pleased....

    Awesome project Dave. Always something to overcome but we know you got this. I hate that you feel you had to address all the nay sayers; what you're doing is different and that's always going to get attention. When you plugged that car into the charger at the shop and that smile came on your face, that's the only reason you need to keep doing what you're doing. What do you think people thought when Barris or Winfield built their first custom cars? Do you my friend and we will keep watching.
