How To Build an Electric Vehicle Chassis. First installment of the Electric Corvette Chassis Build

Follow along on the journey of constructing our first production EV. The AWD Electric C1 Corvette.

WOW! Fascinating skills. Thanks for the inspiration. P.S.....Early Vettes = GORGEOUS! 😀

[@519Kustomz]

I agree! I personally think that is the best looking version.

[@89five3five]

Can’t wait to see the results

[@ryanpetree6475]

There are tons of wrecked Model 3 and Y's out at reasonable prices now. If you could come up with a simple and affordable kit that allows you to shape batteries into different configurations and also change out suspension arms/driveshafts to shorten them to retro-fit older cars, you could make a fortune!

[@JRP3]

Those vehicles have 4 large modules with cells glued in place. The most you could do is remove those 4 modules from the Tesla pack but they are already in the most compact form possible. It doesn't look as if he's using Model 3/Y modules.

[@519Kustomz]

We have done all sorts of things with those batteries and @JRP3 is correct. They are just too awkward for most builds. We even explored custom 4680 packs…. Tesla drives however do still remain my favourite so far and I have a couple options in the works for axle and mount options.

This is great!

[@519Kustomz]

Thanks!

I've changed my mind about EVs. I think they are a great choice for people who see their car as an appliance (like a toaster or microwave). Actually, a self-driving EV would be ideal.

Which is 95-99% of ALL people who own a vehicle. Spoken as a passionate enthusiast whose owned over 80+vehicle's in my 41 years.
And I've run a very profitable tire and service shop here in ATL.
They casually ignore the recommended service intervals, abhor paying for new tires, batteries, filters or alignments. Never check under the hood for fluid levels, check their tire pressures etc. Treating them exactly like an appliance hidden away in a dark room! 😀

@@4literv6 Perhaps you're like the physician or therapist who sees only sick or complaining patients, therefore assuming that everyone is similar. I try to surround myself with enthusiasts who enjoy not only the thrill of driving but also appreciate the design, engineering, and aesthetic of the automobile. I remain the eternal optimist.

[@519Kustomz]

EV’s are an excellent option providing they are used for their intended purpose. It is still not a solution for everyone. But using the components in the secondary hotrod market makes for some super interesting possibilities. The power is incredible! Exciting times ahead if you are open minded.

Do you think EV's don't also have all of those things?

[@mchristr]

@@JRP3 Aesthetics is the study of beauty, and we utilize all of our senses (not eyesight alone) to apprehend that beauty.
Baseball, for example, is a beautiful game. We not only watch but take in the pop of a ball hitting a mitt, the crack of the bat, and the roar of the crowd.
Imagine going to your favorite sporting event wearing noise-canceling headphones?
