Not ruining classics, but giving them a future
Exactly. You can't run a gas vehicle if there's no gas to run it with.
That's what petrol heads need to understand
the amount of electrical puns in this video is shocking
This video has got me charged up
They should just remake old cars with new tech
Many car enthusiasts: "But... muh noise!"
Many other car enthusiasts: "0-60 time go brrrrrr"
Mechanics: "let's see how reliable this thing will be in the next 10 years"
I hope this becomes a trend
WRONG
Me too, we really need to move faster towards electric, and remaking cars to electric seems like a good way. Batteries will in the next five-ten years allow ranges of 1000miles on electric cars.
how much does it cost to fix?
$75000
My first gen Lightning wants this conversion!
Then It will be even more of an ironic name 😉⚡
That's pretty cool now or they need to do is put a shop in every city and every city and make it affordable
Great idea but they need to build more shops throughout California and nationwide to not only keep up with supply and demand but also service and warranty if something goes wrong. What I world like is a system to replace the almost dead batter with a fully charged one. Something that people can do at home or have a cost effective service that people either go to or a mobile service to exchange their almost empty batteries. This will eliminate long wait times at the charging stations and eliminate people becoming stranded when electric chargers don't work (ChargePoint).
The thing they forget to mention is that even if you buy the electric Eluminator motors is that Ford currently has no way to connect and integrate them with external hardware, I know because I bought 2 motors about 4 months ago, and they still don't know when they will have a way to integrate them. So for now my motors are expensive paperweights.
Can’t you use the AEM motor controller? Or pull one out of a salvaged mustang? There is a solution somewhere you’re not seeing.
Cool concept but not for a classic.
Wouldn’t be bad to refirb all the old fleet rangers with this and resale them.
Nah, I’ll keep the 428 CobraJet in my 69 Mach 1. Thanks anyway.
I was just thinking about getting some 428 cobra jet emblems to put on the homemade hood scoop of my fake mad max car
@@donsaxon1948 you can if that’s what you like. My car has a factory shaker.
@@bigmike2149 I'm sure it's a very cool car...the first time I ever heard of that engine I thought of how well cobra and jet went together...I did have some nice muscle cars years ago but sold them...now I just modify what I have into apocalypse movie vehicles..just the kid me I guess
@@donsaxon1948 Nothing wrong with that. I just don’t have the heart to do that to my car as it’s a factory R code California car. Bought it back in ‘94 for $6k and brought it back to life. Had smoked the piston rings so the owner literally dumped the car. Still has the original 4 speed manual.
@@bigmike2149 You have one of the baddest cars ever made and there are millions of people that would love to have one....people are always talking pictures of mine or telling me how cool it is but I think it's because it just stands out with the 35 inch tires on the back..ok Mike, I got to get ready for the hurricane because I'm in Florida
thanks now that'll be 20K for a new battery lmao
Have fun living in the past...
The new CATL batteries have 40% more energy density and a 800 mile range (cost about half of the old Lithium packs) The Tesla Jupiter is being delayed till they get enough of the new batteries to go in them.
Wow! Honestly, I’m impressed! TH-cam gave me a strike, but come Monday afternoon, I’m making a video on this. Believe that!
I want one for my 2000 integra gsr… With a 6 speed
Holy Cow!!!!
Not easy to charge in California when the grid is overburdened everyday and the state is saying save electricity lol
There must be some mud hole you can go sit in while the world fixes the issues that seem to stymie you... More power comes online every week...
Or in Texas when it's below 32°
I would put this in my ford flex where do I sign up
Is that an eAxle?
What the heck is this, way to ruin a classic. Classics are classics for a reason leave them alone
I thought GM makes a similar "create engine" setup for EVing any old vehicle.
I saw this at the Woodward cruise this summer, this will rrevolutionize the hot rod industry.
this would be a good way to repower old 90s v6 mustangs
it seems like everything we buy now is somehow connected to a service/internet plan, it doesn't look like this type of conversion would need to be connected
I developed a magnet motor that actually produces usable torque and RPM and will end the need to plug in an electric vehicle. And buildings can be 100% off grid.
I also developed a wave machine that is better than current methods of using waves motion.
I've been trying to get people interested but I guess people like plugging in?
Nope. Lots of wireless charging tech in use in Europe and couple companies in USA selling them to residential clients. But, like what Tesla knew, magnetically produced electricity could be a holy grail. Keep up the work.
I want one
Batteries are horrible for the environment 😑
Yes same with gasoline
@Mike Miller exactly, because politicians really don’t know nothing about cars because they always care about climate change simply blaming Internal combustion engines. EV’s are more dirty for both mining and producing the electric cars. Greenhouse gases are costing more pollution then gas and diesel power vehicles. Wasting food in landfills, being on our personal electronic devices for way too much longer, cutting down trees, mining and producing electric cars, and burping and farting cows.
@@kryptosuperdoggaming you do realize when you make batteries you still need fossil fuels not when the battery is die they have to go the landfills and where they are buried into the Earth which makes it worse for the Earth. Not to mention we don't even have the grid to support all these electric vehicles. In California there's already restrictions on plugging in large utensils from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. where you're not even allowed to plug in your electric car. Dummy's fall for the green new scam
Gasoline is worse!
@@mikeh.8155 really? You are such a clown you techie nerd. You know that Electric cars are never environment friendly at all especially when auto makers lie to you everyday.
I want to do it to my 1980 Toyota pickup truck
So I can get an antique plate,(no registration, no inspection)and avoid gas tax and EV fees because it's still a gas vehicle.🤔
Love the concept, but as a blind person, what are they doing to make it so we can hear these new electric trucks when they are driving. Older electrics make no sound when moving and being hit by a 10 or 15 MPH moving truck is death for me.
They have fake engine noise so you can hear it. It's even a legal requirement now for new EVs. If you hear weird engine noises that sound like UFOs and stuff, that's probably a Tesla or other EV with a creative fake engine noise.
Except the power grid will fail soon… oh and going to charge stations every hour or so…
Charge at home and have solar panels if you live in a wasteful dessert state
CBS News needs to talk about Ecosia they are a search engine that plants trees
Fantastic
Let’s see how we can ruin a good pickup
@generikuser And how many solar panels would it take to charge one electric car in 4 hours of time?
@generikuser it takes 4 football fields of solar panels to charge one electric car. During a apocalypse walking is faster, riding a bike, or horseback.
@generikuser If you have 1 solar panel charging your car. And it takes 4 football fields (400 yards) of solar panels. To fully charge your car in an 4 hours. It would take years to fully charge your electric car to travel a couple hundred miles. On top of hoping it is sunny all those years (which it wont be). Do the math. You can travel farther on foot. Also, you would have to survive years of a SHTF event in order for fuel to go bad. Which most people will either be killed by raiders, or suffer and killed from an injury. Traveling in long distances would be far more dangerous, then staying located in one area.
This is nothing new ,….. we’ve been swapping gas to electric since Tesla made a production model 15 years ago … it’s nice
if / does ford make a bolt in kit for customers can install….. unfortunately it is a very expensive to swap gas cars to electric
What a shame.
Watch there be more house fires for people overcharging the battery
BMS has entered the chat, that wouldn’t happen.
Can't wait!
Good luck towing with that 🤣🤣
No one tows with a classic truck anyways. Lol.
About $150,000 too. Who cares if they sell 2500? Won't do anything but take power to charge.
More power = uses more electricity NEEDS CHARGED BY THE COAL GRID MORE OFTEN. BRILLIANT PROPAGANDA
You need to get a new stick. 76% of new energy in the US is wind and solar. The dodo birds of going extinct.
@@MM-sf3rl still burning gas, coal for electric vehicles. Created using gas, and coal primarily.
@@kailaniandi Just a matter of time. coal-fired generation’s annual share of all types of generation to serve California electricity demand declined from about
17 percent in 2007 to about 8 percent from 2009 through 2013, to about 6 percent in 2014 and 2015, and to about 4 percent in 2016 and 2017. The share is expected to drop to about 3 percent by 2019, 1% in 2021, and to almost zero by the end of 2025.
@@kailaniandi still better than full petrol
Downside is the cheap mining
@MM-sf3rl yeah but that 76% only produces 3% of the total power.
You don't honestly think we're going to charge all of our cars some day right?
Yeah make it less expensive and I’ll bite.
Lol, probably $80K
Let's make a deal
Put one in my 59 f100 4x4 and set me up with a shop here in western Colorado

My truck runs off a 12 volt battery
Do you know what happens when you shoot high intensity radio waves at salt water ? You could easily turn it into a combustion engine ! Your car being powered buy microwaves ! The current model for Electric cars is not a long term solution. The rare elements needed for the batteries are in short and limited supply. Once the batteries die there trash ! Once the rare metals needed for production are gone then what ? We will run out of these rare earth elements way before oil ! Now. Solutions they should be exploring is the wireless charging technology . Charge your car while it's parked in your garage or Just drive along the road as it wirelessly sends power to your car ! And modifying current gas vehicles. No one needs to be able to go 100 mph ! So why make the car with that much hp. Thunderhead289 put a riding mower carburetor on a old Ford 302. Sure it wasn't fast And only made 89hp . But it got 43 miles to the gallon on 87 pump gas ! And that was a 3D printed home built set up. The car manufacturers could easily improve the efficiency of the gasoline engine. Sure you may need more powerful options for towing and stuff. But for everyday use going to work or the store not the case . Now everyone says where is the money going to come from 60 + trillion wasted in Iraq , Syria , and Afganistan . 74 billion wasted on developing the F 22 . It was already obsolete when it finally became combat operational. They could do it but they lobbyists and the senators who need there campaign funds won't do it !
Electric vehicles are developing fast and their environmental impact reduces all the time. Electric cars have very high well to wheel efficiency and when we increase renevables in everywhere like solar, wind and deep bore hole geothermal then we get low emissions electricity everywhere. Lifepo4 batteries are already quite good choice for electric cars and they don't use cobalt, manganese or nickel. There are already some sodium-ion batteries available and their energy density is increasing. Those sodium-ion batteries don't need rare metals and they will get quite cheap and never suffer from resource depletion. Even electric motors are getting smaller and electric cars get more aerodynamic like Mercedess EQXX that can do over 1000 km on single charge on our current technology. Also our ability to recycle even battery metals is increasing. Wireless charging sounds good in theory but it's efficiency is quite bad and requires very expensive infrastructure. Maybe using regen with system that pushes or pulls your car on fast straight highway pars so you would never need to charge at roadtrips.
make everything about the vehicle better: 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 can't even tow
90% of pickup truck owners never tow anything (me included)
WE MUST MINE NATURAL GAS & COAL
Or just open our facility’s here in the U.S. again
nooooooooo
No downside , its what we need to do.
Good luck towing with that 🤣
DISLIKE
Same here
So we will burn more fossil fuels to charge the batteries? How is this smart. Don’t forget we have to rewire the United States to be able to charge all the batteries!
Pretty useless without a battery
I'm done sitting tight for the award advance since i acquire$23,000 every 12 days of my investment.
Hello what’s the best way to get started with trade cos I’ve been making my personal research for a while now please a newbie?
I’m astonished, I think am the only one familiar with Mr Samuel, he handles my account too.
It has been awesome, really crypto is very frustrating.. I was astonishing how I made $71,380 with $14k as a Novice. I got to put in some $$$ in it tho .
I have also been hearing a lot about his goodness and perfection in trading Cryptocurrencies with awesome trading
Amazing I also started trading with him recently. $180,000 profits in just 2 months and still counting, Mr Samuel is the crypto trade king as far am concerned.

I love you
So basically when the batteries are dead? It's going to cost you another $20,000 for a battery that gets 180 miles to the charge. Why???? Wasted a great truck! When you could have spent $1400 on a brand new rebuild engine. With the same amount of horsepower. Wow 😳 that was stupid!!!!!!
No more volatile gas cost, no more polluting drips of oil from a motor, transmission or seal, no more regular services, no more corrupt and high priced automotive services centers, no more green house gases, no more.
Not at all true. Manufacturing costs the environment. Burning fossil fuels for electricity costs the environment. Batteries costs lives and the environment. It's not magic, it's trickery.
Have u ever seen the damage a battery can do
@@williambeck3029 When they’re recycled maybe they’ll do no damage. Ford is already working with JB Strobel who was one of the original founder of Tesla. Next time you’re at Walmart look at where all the oil cars park. Times that by 100 million cars. Not to mention the destructive elements of greenhouse gases.
I agree with most of this except costs and greenhouse gases. You act as if batteries are cheap and last forever, and if you haven't heard they use oil in the gear reduction, and coal and natural gas for electricity which on a point to point conversion from fuel to power generation is not as efficient as directly using it to move a vehicle. Electricity alone will never be the end game for i.c.e. replacement.
Research the building AND disposal of these huge car batteries
