If the RR is getting a 100kWh, that must mean you’re taking a different approach to the standard Leaf parts? Surely the Leaf BMS won’t handle that?

Given you are splitting the Leaf battery into separate chunks, does the BMS get upset when measuring the cells that are now further apart? Is there more resistance that affects the readings?

Regarding Rapid charging, and since you’re based on a Leaf, am I right to think this is Chademo? Or do you provide CCS? Or is it Chademo with a 3rd party adaptor to use CCS chargers?

Interesting to watch the business planning aspect as much as the EV conversion itself

As a DIYer just starting on my own conversion (VW T2, Leaf donor, Resolve-EV VCU), would you mind sharing which electric brake vacuum you use please? I’m just starting looking at this and a bit overwhelmed with options and wide price variation. Looks like high end is £300 ish, low end can be under £100. Nice comprehensive video BTW, although personally would prefer the camera person to stay a bit more still!

Well I started my first job at 15 in a Rover Garage and the love for these cars has lasted me all my life so at 74 I will never like what you are doing and never will

hi, can you convert Disco 4 ?

If I wanted to put AC in the car how do we add it? Thanks. Great job guys🎉

awesome need to strat saving up!

Like how you upcycle the leaf parts. Do you buy a working leaf to do that?

Lots of metal work involved. Didn’t realise how much would be in a conversion. I like how you do the CAD 3D modelling and making new bespoke objects.

Totally agree with your thoughts on this.

You make a good case for not reusing the existing gearing.

Good content. I like it. without music behind when talking

Just don’t waste your money, completely unreliable

It’s an original roof lining very rare!

Hi can i ask what single speed box you attach to the leaf motor? is it one you source yourselves? is it available to purchase on its own?

I wonder how much impact on efficiency/ battery life the landrovers brick-like aerodynamics has.

Filler? Keep the dents. They are its battle scars 😂

You should be dragged behind a landrover for doing this. Ev conversions are sacrilege

I have done a number of ev conversions and haven't been happy with any of it. The vehicle ends up heavier, slower, and all of the equipment is non repairable.

Vehicle assessments can vary tester to tester. Had a friend with a fairly common kit car that one assessor decided was not compliant, and another at a different test centre said it was totally fine.

I don’t really get this at all. Driving a classic is about the sounds and smells and originality. To be honest it’d be a bit like seeing an old friend in a wheel chair! No it’s not for me.

If you wish to retain the classic numberplate and not be registered as a 'Q' class vehicle then you must not make ANY modifications to the original chassis or monocoque structure.

Great video’s guys, is there a big price difference with yourselves who use Leaf batteries etc and other companies who maybe use Tesla batteries, have you for example converted a Triumph Spitfire/ Tr7 and w what would be a typical cost for doing something like that. Many thanks

Love the videos. Question? Am I mad to consider a mk1 Mitsubishi pajero for an EV conversion? I have a beauty jap import from 89. Wouldn’t be for off-roading but I was thinking its smaller size would make it a cool kinda city car.

👍🏻😃

Thank you for your videos and sharing your passion. Looking forward to more.

Really nice fabrication! 👏👏 note: The music was a bit loud 😉😅

Awesome explanation 👏👏👏

Thank you so much. Possibly one of the most effective piece of information available on TH-cam. Appreciation for the demonstration. Once you're here, you're hooked.

Great work guys and fantastic explanations, love this content , would be great if you had a shop and sold components to DIY’ers , I get it’s you business and IP good luck and keep up the good work

MOT once a year makes sense.

🎉

Can ou convert a 2007 Range Rover vogue and approximately how much would it cost

looks good, but easy on the jump cuts!

Very clean installation!

How much do you think to convert my 63 finny?

Great video, Thanks for putting it together. A couple questions for you. Are you using the LT230 with the 1.2 gear ratio? Also, can you explain why you chose to run a propshaft between the motor and transfer case rather than directly attaching the motor to the transfer case? That would create more room in the engine compartment for batteries and such.

If the vehicle is fitted with its original engine and gearbox I hope these are kept with the vehicle, I am dead against these conversations, you are only the keeper of a classic car, they are not making any more.

Before even start the conversion, you should consider a better vehicle. Large classic SUVs are heavy and have bad aerodynamics so its not a good selectrion for an efficient convertion.

I would love to convert my wifes 4 DR 4WD 1989 Isuzu Trooper to electric. Its lightweight and is stripped at the moment with the engine and transmission out of it. I had it repainted inside out and just haven't rebuilt the engine for it yet. Wiring harness is not back in it yet either. I even have a brand new, late model transfercase from an automatic transmission that can be ran as a divorced t case really easy too! Both axles have been rebuilt and I regeared the differentials.(ARB lockers etc) The Corporate 10 bolt front diff (dana 44 equivalent) and there is a HD Corporate 12 bolt rear diff ( Dana 60 equivalent) Its a good looking SUV! It was Japans answer to the Series 1's. My son loves his Tesla but my wife wants an electric SUV rather than an electric car. I like to build cars and hot rods, so a kit is in my wheelhouse. I'm also a retired power company technician and owned a custom fabrication buisness after retirement. Let me know when you get universal kits on the market.

great to see someone going into detail on the build. I see you going direct from leaf motor to LT230, what ratios are you using for transfer box and axles? Does the car run well up to speed but cruise at 65/70 as well? keep up the videos!

Are you using the Ashcroft conversion for series trucks in the LT230 or are you running the front axle full time?

🎉🎉

Don’t do it because EV’s are fucking stupid. Have you actually researched into how much ore it takes for one battery? Or how much diesel the machinery uses mining the ore? Or perhaps who lying, money grabbing prats have looked at the ecological fuck up the nickel/ lithium mines are causing their surrounding areas? Oh but you don’t care about that because nothing comes out of the exhaust pipe and you can make a lot of money out of lying to people. Knobs.

The biggest fact is you can't drive over 120 miles...

Really informative video - love what you are doing. I have a Mercedes Benz 230GE SWB that I would like to convert one day... :)

The L322 Rangie in background I bet is not an EV 😂

Fuel tank weight , surely thatll help towards battery counter weight
