Congratulations Jehu!! The big takeaway for me: You express yourself through batteries and EV's. You do it whether people are watching or not. You turned a fun life into an amazing one! Good on ya, and thanks for being a great example of what a person can do when they put their heart and action into their passion.
I love how your channel has progressed. I remember watching your early videos and I knew that you were a special breed of a maker. Congratulations on all your achievements since than, big and small!
I’ve got a ‘64 Bug with 7 Tesla batteries (3 in the frunk and 4 behind the back seat). Its range is something between 170-190 miles with Hyper 9 high voltage motor (120 hp & 162 lb ft torque). We did front discs, coil over shocks, 12 volt conversion, LED lights, seat heaters and A/C.
@@CreativosEmpodera2 It was Rich who made the recommendation; he could have done it himself instead of sharing the love, if I could be bothered I would have time stamped it for you, but it's a good show so watch again
10 years!?! I look at your collection of vids and see 7 and 8 years ago and all the red watch bars are full....Goodness. where did time go. Congrats sir! What an accomplishment. Way to stay weird and enjoy life.
Congrats Bro, A big thanks to you, watching you over ten years ago, I learned everything about batteries, bms, chargers, inverter, load and capacity, now I'm very happy because I run my business here in Nigeria on 18650 batteries. Thank you the

I'm so proud of you man, you totally deserve this... I'm so happy for you and it has been such a pleasure to follow your journey. You are an example of the American Dream, where nothing can stop you from following your dreams!
Very cool video. Totally enjoy the "Storytelling" you do Jehu. Your best videos are those where you unfold a "Story" about something, anything. Nice work.
Hey Jehu! Met you a few years back at your residence when I was doing door to door solar sales. You were such a friendly person to talk to and so awesome to see what you've been up to since then!
WoW, 40 years ago, a coworker electrified a VW. The way the engine mounted made it easier. Of course, back then, there was only home charging, no charging stations.
That bus is one of the coolest things I’ve seen. I’ve been waiting for someone to convert an old car into something other than just a simple TH-cam project. I love it!
Congratulation!! Your creativity is truly inspiring and it’s evident that you put your heart and soul into your work. It’s not just awesome, it’s awe-inspiring. Keep up the fantastic work, my friend. You’re doing an amazing job and I can’t wait to see what you create next!
Great to see your efforts reach a new audience. The EV conversion makes so much sense in many classic cars/busses. The owner ends up with a reliable, usable classic that's fun to drive. There must be a market for a rear drive transaxle by now?! So the original can be removed, gain a bit of efficiency and loose a bit of weight. Plus designed to handle the power and torque of the electric motor.
sick man well done. thats very cool to be able to do this when so many others could not, gotta love being a self proclaimed engineer! I am low key following you in real life :D
So proud of you🎉 Great to see your dedication to the art of electrification be recognized by a wider, even more eclectic, audience. You are my hero, Jehu😂
This is an awesome build. I have a 2008 PT Cruiser with 152k miles. When the engine goes, I want to convert it to EV. You have inspired me thru your product's and channel. I think you will need a bigger shop after this with all the business you will get.
This is amazing! Congratulations. I’m still hoping a modern version of the bus (ev) will be released. I’d love to get an electric VW bus but I have no idea where to start.
I am very impressed. My Congratulations. I always say; who compares, loses. But that's pretty amazing. You have great customers with the will and the money. Here in Europe this is partially possible in England. But definitely not in Germany. Anyone who has the necessary change here wants everything original, of course with the combustion engine..
Hell yeah bro. Congrats on the success. Hopefully this pushes your company to new heights. Hopefully I get a chance to meet you at a vw show in the future. I wanna turn my Westy into an EV! Have you seen any bay windows converted yet?!
Fantastic. Considering that 25% of new car sales in California are EVs. I'm guessing the supply of batteries will increase over time, though some of the Tesla ones have a lot of structural foam, and no modules. One giant pack. See "Monro Live" teardowns for details.😊
Congratulations. Looks awesome. Can ask why you would not put some of the batteries on the right of the engine to safe some space in the back? Would this be possible? Or is there a big benefit on keeping the space empty?
Congrats bro! You deserve the notoriety for all the hard work you've been doing for decades. Keep inspiring the masses
Notoriety. That word does not mean what you think it means.
notoriety - the state of being famous or well known for some bad quality or deed.

What amazing times. These cars look sick bro! When are you coming back to NYC?

What! No mention of the bring in? (Rich Rebuild)
Nah, he got episode 1 all for himself already

@@letsgoairsoft3016dick riding much? 😂 It's not Rich's show, he was just featured.
That's when you feel proud of your skills when someone like RDJ wants you to work on his car .... Hats off
You made Iron Man an EV? That is awesome! Serious cred to get the opportunity for an A-lister.
Awesome and ironic 😀
That’s because buying a Tesla would be a poseur. The real Iron Man orders a vintage VW bus EV built.

Super cool that you were involved in this it will give you even more exposure than what you had now you deserve it you work so hard.
This model was made in Brazil until 1975.
Mister Robert is doing a ton of cool things in the world and am so glad you got to be a pert of his Journey and he got you be a part of yours~

Watched today until the end! Jehu this is AWESOME! You should have asked him to get the suit and fly around the bus :)
Congrats! What a great opportunity. I hope this brings more people to your channel.
Congrats on the success homie!!!! Sometimes things happen but it's how you move on from the things! Great job on the bus!
Well done! Congratulations
Have been checking in on you since you were filming at your home! So great seeing you grow!
This is amazing. Congrats! That shot at 23:07 is from when I interviewed you 10 years ago at the OCTO show for my VW channel. Keep up the great work.
Been a fan since Jag35 days! Congratulations! You're very talented
I'm so proud of you man, you totally deserve this...
I'm so happy for you and it has been such a pleasure to follow your journey.
You are an example of the American Dream, where nothing can stop you from following your dreams!
Congratulations, Jehu! This is great and you did a fantastic job.
My dad had a VW bus in the 1970s. It was a fun ride for us 4 kids. Will be fun to watch your EV converts. Looking forward to it!
Congrats and hopefully it will be the start of bigger opportunities
Boy😅 how to completely destroy the look of a T1, right Jehu? Glad you did your part to perfection as per usual
Congrats, Jehu!!
Super cool! Congrats👏🏻
Congratulations!! I remember when you started this channel. Based on passion study and work. Well done!!

The last time I saw your video, you were working on roof panels and selling components. Boy, you have come a long way. Props to you. True creator.
Awesome man! Really cool!! Maybe we need to do an electric VW (non Brazilian of course haha) for our next project 😮
Juhu man. That is awesome you get to work with another awesome person. I can't wait to see what you both come up with next.
I love this! RD goin around shining lights on the real ev conversion og's!!
Congratulations! You deserve it!🌟😃
Thank you! 😃
More than amazing. You should plan for tours like that , people would pay for this blast
This is awesome dude!
Wow, that's awesome! Stay powered up!!
Felicitaciones Jehu, es una gran alegría ver tu gran trabajo. Saludos de tus colegas de América Latina.

Good job Jehu!
Been following you since the beginning man :) If anyone deserves to be recognised it's you :)
In 1995, I sold my 74 camper to a group from Sacramento State that bought it,so they could convert it to an electric bus. Any connection?
Congrats Jehu!!! From Dslr accessories to EV V-Dubs!!! Happy for u!!!!
Thanks a ton
Iron Man and Electric Man - the results had to be fantastic!
You're truly an inspiration Jehu, thanks for always sharing your knowledge with us
My dream car right there, looks awesome 👏🏻
Acabo de verlo en Argentina! Congrats bro!!
That's awesome! 👏👏👏👍👍
So Ironman drives a VW bus when he's not in his suit COOL
This is amazing! Congratulations. I’m still hoping a modern version of the bus (ev) will be released. I’d love to get an electric VW bus but I have no idea where to start.
wait, Iron Man drives and eV !!! congrats on the work!
EV West, EG, and Jehu. All the big names in EV.
I like the vídeo and simplistic approach, you definitely are a talented man, great work.
Good for you! I originally saw you on EVTV year ago with Jack Rickard and have been following you since.
💥💥💥Extra nice production dude ! 💥💥💥
Congrats on the opportunity to do this awesome project with Robert Downey Jr. ⚡ You are very talented, keep up the amazing work 🎉🎉🎉
I hope he paid you well.
Good thing it can be converted back, once he realizes it was a dumb idea.
Then he can pay you well....again.
You making the car for the next marvel Movie
Congrats, Jehu!
Parabéns meu amigo, sabia que seu sucesso iria acontecer, você e uma inspiração para mim muito sucesso!
"Robert had a hand in the design of all these cars" yeah he picked the colors lol
My first thought was "Safty Belts"!!! But maybe it's just me
So cool keep up the great work
That is amazing! Woooo... You're going to be busy now. :)
Way to go! Nooice! 😎 STOC
congrats Jehu, so rad!!!
EV4U has been converting vw’s to electric since 2008.
I am very impressed. My Congratulations.
I always say; who compares, loses.
But that's pretty amazing. You have great customers with the will and the money.
Here in Europe this is partially possible in England. But definitely not in Germany. Anyone who has the necessary change here wants everything original, of course with the combustion engine..
Well the TV execs have found you now so I guess you've officially made it. Congrats man!
Very groovy! 🗽
Sweet!
I don’t know why, but I loved seeing those zebras at 5:04.
Great work! ;)
Hell yeah bro. Congrats on the success. Hopefully this pushes your company to new heights. Hopefully I get a chance to meet you at a vw show in the future. I wanna turn my Westy into an EV! Have you seen any bay windows converted yet?!
It was great working with you on the bus
Nice! I need an EV Vanagon Syncro please!

That is really cool! “I am electric IronMan!” 😊
Awesome story man 😁 great video. Keep up the good work 😁
I'm a fan of the work you do, but I'm not a fan of a VW bus without a VW emblem proudly displayed out front.
Awesome! Congratulation!
Oh hey it's Chad! Awesome vid thanx Mr Garcia!
I've thought you were king of ev vehicles for a long time... Learned alot but have do e nothing but keep up the good work anyway
Congratulations. Looks awesome. Can ask why you would not put some of the batteries on the right of the engine to safe some space in the back? Would this be possible? Or is there a big benefit on keeping the space empty?
I suggested many things, but ultimately the shop kinda went how they wanted.
Nicely done ... keep up the good work ! :-D
Absolutely amazing.
Good for you man!
