Classic EV conversions are just awesome, Fellten is doing such a great job and also Electric Classic Cars 😊❤.
Would love EV converted Nissan Z240
Haven't heard of Fellten -- thanks for turning me onto them!
There are so many fun old cars that would make fun conversions, but most have either been scrapped or have prices that look like phone numbers. The problem with "practical & economical" retrofits is that the cars from 20-30 years ago are both infested with outdated electronics that will be a nightmare to sort out, and many cars from that era are not particularly desirable. One good thing for the "practical & economical" type is the availability today of off-the-shelf controllers, especially for the Nissan LEAF drive unit. Many LEAFs are scrapped for out-of-warranty batteries or collisions. Those drive units are not as in-demand as Tesla units, but they are plentiful and reliable.
It's also worth noting that they are PLENTY powerful for an older chassis.
@@joborras9063 Hey, quit web-surfin' on vacation. Grab a beer and go watch the sunset.
@@Miata822 pre-recorded, but: great advice!
I have a 1960 Karmann Ghia convertible, which I have long wanted to install an electric motor. Unfortunately, this Alibaba kit looks pretty lame, with a 20hp golf cart motor, and zero batteries for $2,000! But I am also not really interested in a cool classic car modded into electric operation for $250,000!! I would be excited to see a 250hp Model 3 motor, and Tesla batteries, plus the other needed bits, for maybe $12k (plus the donor car) all in.
I think that's low, but maybe OK for a LEAF based build.
