I am a Volvo fan, I had a S40, a S80 and a XC60. Now I have a Hyundai Ioniq. I wish you the best in this project from Barcelona, Spain

Like! I dreamed of an an eVolvo. Ended up with an EV VW bus. Great work!

Your new S70 looks really beautiful on camera :) I did not know they were available in red, but the paint looks still quite good. Not faded, no clear coat missing.

5:20 You can actually shift a manual gearbox without a clutch. The synchros can adapt the rotor speed of the electric motor if you command zero torque. Damien from EVBMW has been and continues driving two(?) of his BMWs like that for many tens of thousands of kilometers.

That was the original plan, but after seeing what happned to that other Volvo transaxle... I'm going to treat those synchros like they're made from fine china.

Can you link me your spreadsheet calculator? I will be using it for my ev conversion.

My friend.. Can I run a 2200w 72v motor with a 3000w 72v controller?? Or could a problem occur?

I am not an electrical engineer, just a hobbyist. I cannot give advice.

You're so close putting everything together, so happy to see you didn't give up.

Wow, setbacks like this are really disheartening, but I'm glad to hear you want to continue :)

looking forward to the next video! best of luck with the batteries.

Wow, that's quite an elaborate selection process :)

Did you look into used batteries? BMW has nice 7/9/12kWh batteries in their hybrid vehicles and you should be able to get one for $1000-2000. The voltage is obviously too high for your DC motor, but they are modular and you could reconfigure the cell packs. One has around 60V I think, so maybe two in series and more in parallel? BMS might be a challenge, but it's reasonable to assume it could be adapted. For an initial run you might get by without.

I'm looking at everything... I'll be posting a video about how I'm deciding on batteries, I have a pretty elaborate spreadsheet that does a lot of the figuring for me. The BMS issue is really a tough one, that's my holdup on using salvage packs. As far as voltage goes... I clocked the brushes on the forklift motor, it's going to be fed more than 48V whether it likes it or not. :-)

Great video! Glad to see you're back. Helpful to highlight how you're navigating the logistical and practical challenges/considerations alongside the mechanical / design challenges. Beautiful dresser in the foreground as well.

Buying a new batteries? That's gonna be expensive, I would go for a Nissan leaf battery pack

how to get local electric motor

@alibro7512 4 ай бұрын

I've driven almost 1000 miles in a car with a coupler centred in a similar way. So far no issues so yours should be fine. 🙂

Very nice to see a volvo conversion project. I'm in the process of preparing a Volvo V70 I conversion as well, but with a Mitsubishi Outlander rear motor and inverter.

@mathieugilbert1149 4 ай бұрын

What voltage will you be using to power this ev? At 24v it doesn't seem to be spinning fast, even my 300lbs motor spins 80rpm/v (dc series wound)

cool! I'm waiting to see the outcome of that. I'm considering conversion of my 2002 Volvo XC70 and looking for some examples

Amazing progress, how do size that big fuse? at what current it will breaks?

Looks good! I'll make my adapter plate based on your design.

At your own risk -- I'm not an engineer! For safety's sake, I'm going to be putting a metal shroud around the gap where you can see the driveshaft spinning... to keep out hands, pebbles, squirrels, mice, loose bolts, etc... if something gets down in there, it could be bad.
