    Would love to see a world with all famous oldtimers like VW vans, mustangs, etc. newly build with modern safety features and ecofriendly or electric engines.

    How many of you tried to read the subtitles when the guy was speaking English...I need my old 99 Jeep Cherokee affordably converted to a 250 - 300-mile range 4wd EV. Great job on the VW.

    Congratulations ! I remember that "EV smile" when after months of work the wheels turn under electric power for the first time. It was fun seeing you two experience it.

  • @andycapo9you
    @andycapo9you 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Just a tip; stick Speaker magnet or a magnetic tray to the van chazis in the area you are working on while laying on the floor, that way, you can stick the tools to it and you're not always searching for them, itis pretty anoying I know by experience! Great work guys! Almost cryed when saw it running! Nice couple proyect!

    Oh man you guys are in for a journey, great job! I started with a gas car, then a hyper miled Isuzu diesel, and then in the middle of designing an electric hybrid I realized a quadcopter is best unless your building an Rv . So now I'm building a giant drone. I'll see you guys in the air some day.

    Congrats... I know the feeling of finally getting the wheels to spin. I did it on a 1981 VW Rabbit Cabriolet. Same BMS and charger as you. (I wrote to you months ago about setting up the communication between the charger and the BMS.) I used a DC motor at between 144 and 172 VDC. My batteries are 144 cells, 72 ah set up as 3P48S.

    After driving VW transporters on/off from T1 to T4 for years, I was always surprised by the early models high ground clearance. There is simply a lot of room underneath them. Especially when you remove all the ICE components. It's the perfect old vehicle for electric conversion.

    Congrats! What a great project, and a great adventure about to begin. I support this very much. I work in the renewable energy industry, and I also drive VW Vanagon Syncro. Relaible electric transportation has been a major hurdle for the world's switch to renewable energy, for a long time. New battery technologies are changing that. We might yet save the planet, and we might yet be able to drive our favorite classic vehicles with modern, clean technology too. Please contact me if you are interested in some media coverage in the USA and specifically the renewable energy scene. (we have published two VW van articles already in my 23 years with the magazine. This project would be a good progression).

    I am by no means a fan of EV's but i have to say 3 things:
    1. congratulations to make this thing work. I couldn't do this, since it 's a quite complicated electrical system....
    2. do some bulletproofing to the stock transmisson. The Tesla electric motor has a lot of torque, so it's likely that either the clutch or the transmission itself will cause problems in the near future.
    3. (very important!) Please do an upgrade on the brakes! Like the transmission, they are not meant to stop this much power.

    • @matzeh1985
      @matzeh1985 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Does it have a clutch?

    • @Dominiksautowelt
      @Dominiksautowelt 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@matzeh1985 should have one otherwise you will grenade the transmission immediatly

    • @matzeh1985
      @matzeh1985 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Do electric motors need clutches? No.
      Do electric cars need clutches? No.
      Why? Because unlike combustion engines, eletric motors can run from 0-many thousand rpm and aren't bound to a certain rpm rate. Using a frequency converter, you can drive an electric motor at 1 rpm. That's why eletric motors are mounted directly onto the gearbox.

    • @Dominiksautowelt
      @Dominiksautowelt 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Theoretically you are right, but remember, they have mounted the Motor to the original vw transmission. Unless they've already modified the transmission into a two gear transmission (forward and reverse) or just use one gear to drive forward and don't use the other gears at all, you are right. But if they didn't modify the transmission they are also loosing top speed and efficiency due to gear ratios.

    • @Dominiksautowelt
      @Dominiksautowelt 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      besides, in the video they say they have 3 gears. (14:55) so they need the clutch to change the gears.
