- When you remove the engine from a gas-powered Jeep to convert it to an electric vehicle, you find that certain functions like power steering and power brakes don't work the way they used to. So what do you do with an EV conversion?
In this video you will learn how we adapted acceleration, braking and power steering for our electric Jeep. We will also be able to do one-pedal driving but more on that once we have implemented that feature. Stay tuned and thanks for joining our adventure!

Hey guys. My 2 cents from experiance .....What makes more sense for the power brakes is using a vacuum pump and a accumulator (Vacuum storage tank) and a map sensor to monitor the vacuum to shut off the pump. It requires a little bit of electronics to monitor vacuum and control the pump but uses way less power than electric assist. .....As far as the power steering what I used is a electric power steering pump from a newer jeep. You will find interfacing the can commands to the power steering pump will be a challange. What I did is removed the oem circuit board and replaced it with a 60 amp ESC controller, it uses a pwm input to adjust motor rpm. I found I can run mine at around 1600 rpm when at low speeds (turns off when stopped for more than 3 seconds) and reduces down to s few hundred rpms at 30mph. Used the vehicle speed from the can bus and converted it to pwm. The entire exersize was around saving as much power as possible. Your jeep is coming along nice!
Hi Veronika and Don! One of our TH-cam followers told me about your channel and we are so please to see others doing electric conversion!! Funny fact is that we are also doing a jeep conversion, inspired by a television series. In our case, we choose to convert a 1987 Jeep YJ that we purchased in a scrap yard and which is the exact model used in the 80's television series MacGyver. We had a lot of restoration to do, but like you, we wanted to give a second life to an existing vehicle. We are near the end of our conversion. Our show is in French, as we are in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, but it's subtitles in English. The conversion idea only came during our visit to a scrap yard...and it sure did require a lot of time and effort. Anyway, It's great to see you having the same goal and inspiring others to do the same. Love your show!!!
I love your show! Just checked it out and subscribed! I especially like how your show is focused around circular economy and the entrepreneurs that can make this a reality in the ev sector. Thanks for your nice comment, hope to meet some time. 😊
@@ElectrifiedVeronika Hi Veronika! Sorry for this late reply. Would be great if the 2 jeep could meet 😄Let's see if we can manage that for next summer! Our jeep conversion is completed and we are loving it. Too bad it was finished late in the autumn, as we didn't had much time to enjoy it since cold weather is already here and it's really just made for fun summer drives. No hard top ! We will show our result in the following months. Meanwhile here's a sneak peak. th-cam.com/video/sE9UrVSTQqo/w-d-xo.html
Zzz zzz zzz me la pela aya
Volvo makes an Electric over Hydraulic Power Steering pump, that is so very interesting
Another interesting and clever conversion by 'Electric Classic Cars' used a tesla unit located where original transfer case is, So the drive shafts to fwd and aft axles come out of Tesla unit where Left and Right wheel used to be. I don't know details about ring & Pinion Reduction in axles was dealt with - they must have done something for that.
Electrified Veronika and Don. Another great progress video on the Electric Gilmore Girls Jeep. Great Video as usual. I love this "Frankenstein" build, good thought process on every component. If it takes Tesla, Volvo and Nissan parts to work that is "All Good". Great Work!
Thanks Richard! ☺️☺️
Excellent tutorial on your progress and looking forward to your next series of videos!
I love seeing these updates. Maybe some day I’ll be upgrading my 2 door JK to all-electric. :D
Thanks for joining our adventure. Let me know once that „some day“ comes closer ☺️☺️👏
Hi Veronika, erstmal schöne Grüße aus Wien 🖖🏼😃
Hut ab vor eurem Projekt !! Ich hatte vor 10 Jahren die Idee einen Opel GT BJ 1967 umzubauen…
Es ist aber beim Engineering geblieben weil es damals wirtschaftlich keinen Sinn gemacht hat…
Alleine eine brauchbare Karosserie (vorzugsweise Auto mit Motorschaden, unverbastelt) eines Opel GT zu einem vernünftigen Preis zu finden stellte als unlösbare Aufgabe heraus… meist sind die neuralgischen Stellen einfach durchrostet… wahrscheinlich findet man so etwas sogar eher in den USA… interessanter Weise wurden nämlich von diesem Opel mehr Fahrzeuge in den USA verkauft als in Europa…
Mal sehen ob ich in ein paar Jahren doch noch d‘rüber traue… wahrscheinlich mit LFP Akkus… wenn sie noch etwas günstiger und besser werden was die Energiedichte angeht… Zulassung ist ja bei Euch kein Problem… in Österreich war es aber mitunter der Hauptgrund warum ich es hab bleiben lassen… also viel Geld rein zu stecken und dann nicht zu wissen, ob man mit dem Fahrzeug überhaupt auf öffentlichen Straßen fahren darf war dann doch nicht so cool. Wie auch immer, macht weiter so ! Ich find eurer Projekt einfach super !!! Freu mich schon auf die nächste Folge… LG Roman
Vielen Dank für die Nachricht und liebe Grüße in die Heimat! Ja, wenn man schon so ein verrücktes Projekt machen will, dann eher in den USA. Stimme allen Punkten zu - die Wirtschaftlichkeit lässt sich auch heute hinterfragen. Ist schon ein sehr aufwendiges Projekt und der Preis lässt sich nur senken indem man gebrauchte Komponenten verwendet - wie wir zum Beispiel mit den Batterien, jetzt auch Kühlplatten und einige kleinere Teile, und für das nächste Projekt ist auch der Plan auf gebrauchte E-Motoren beispielsweise von Nissan Leaf zurückzugreifen. Aber wenn man das durchhält hat man jedenfalls ein einzigartiges Fahrzeug und in Zukunft wird die Zugänglichkeit von Komponenten sich hoffentlich auch verbessern. Wir werden nun nach einer kleinen Pause endlich wieder weiterfilmen, freu mich drauf das nächste Video zu teilen.
@@ElectrifiedVeronika Bin schon sehr gespannt! LG Roman 🖖🏼😃
Informative and interesting. Keep them coming please.
Thanks! We do, we have a little video break but soon after SEMA we produce more!
Thanks for providing answers to questions on EV conversions. Curious too how you will implement heater & AC. Is eliminating AC a consideration?
The heating system will be very unique hehe - we‘ll make a video on thermal management overall very soon. We skip the ac for now - not a big fan and living in Wisconsin not really a need when you can remove the top ☺️

Excellent video guys
Thank you very much!
Hi Veronika! So I guess you're from Germany!😂
Thanks for the details. What about air conditioning? What would one use to drive that? Just hook it up with an electric motor? Or use an electric pump? What about another systems like abs, etc... Thanks!
I need more videos 😁 Where you at?
We will be back into filming very soon with lots of updates! We are located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Hi Veronika and Don! Thank you for sharing these AMAZING videos with us. Your channel has taught me more about DIY EV conversions than any other channel on TH-cam! I appreciate that! A quick question: how will you prevent accidental runaway acceleration if the return spring on the accelerator pedal breaks? Does the pedal have an additional return mechanism in case the primary return mechanism breaks?
Hi Pat, thank you for your friendly comments. Glad we can help. Yes, I believe there are two springs for a redundant return mechanism just like all accelerator pedals. (but I will double check). It also incorporates a dual potentiometer signal. In addition, we can also program the "brake" so that when it is pressed, the VCU will cut drive power... Hope this answers your question and thanks again for the nice comments!
@@ElectrifiedVeronika thank you so much for answering my question! I sincerely appreciate it. I am very much looking forward to your next installment on your electric Wrangler! What you are doing is super inspiring; I hope to do an EV conversion of my own someday! Thank you again, have a wonderful week!
Great project. Makes me want to build one. PS, is it wrong if I want to call you Electronika Veronika? 😀
You would not be the first one hehe ☺️☺️
What was the total cost?
Hi , my work convers offroad car on ev ., MLEV✋
Hey guys
Great videos.
My 4x4 hilux recently caught fire, its definitely salvageable.
Thinking about turning it into EV.. any thoughts ?
Hey, oh no, sorry to hear about the fire. I have no idea how wrecked it is, of course, but in general I've seen a few rebuilds on larger trucks. You would have the bed available to accommodate the batteries, which is much easier than trying to retrofit everything and design entirely new mounts for the batteries in the engine compartment. With an EV conversion, it really depends on how you plan to use your truck in the future. EV conversions have their limitations, but if you know about them and align your use of the truck, do it! Another consideration is CAN communications. If the truck is too new you could run into problems, the older the truck the better. Keep us informed!
How are you taking care of acceleration, braking and steering in an EV conversion? Any more ideas? Experience?
Takes 3 or 4 hours to remove everything.
have enough torque multiplication
2.72 transfer box 3:1 Cascadia reduction
Is that enough?
Wonderful series
Poor jeep. Little guy just wanted to live a peaceful life
THE steering shaft is the same if not stronger than stock
The electric steering unit is more efficient by far and makes for a tidy motor bay
I don't know why you don't want to talk to me sometime I'm send you message on your email I don't know why you not respond
