Electric motor to transmission connection! (Jeep EV Conversion)

Hey everyone,
My name is Daniel Rosario and I am in the process of converting a 2001 Jeep Cherokee to electric. I hope to use this youtube channel to educate others on electric vehicles and inspire other students like myself to engage in engineering projects to support a greener world. If you're interested, come hang out!

I thought about trying it with a old 86 Toyota pickup with a old 22r with 400,000+ miles lol either this or I'll just rebuild it. But I was thinking of something new and different 😆

[@Kirby1969]

Love this project. Can't wait to see your progress!

[@rememberthis8795]

Finally, someone that is doing what I have thought would work! I have a 2000 Dodge Dakota with a factory 2.5L and a 5 speed tranny. I have long said that the tranny is agnostic to the power source. Yes, I do think regearing a manual tranny would work better with an EV setup, still, gear ratios are extremely important. I like how you are 360 degree aware with your project. I particularly like your methodology of star pattern tightening as all old school wrenchers will applaud you for doing this. Many Blessings!

Waiting to see the final result! Way to go!

[@techme8884]

Thanks for this! Gl with the build

[@talonpilot]

Great job with the video! A little tip when putting the clutch and flywheel together, try to keep them as clean as possible. Spray the mating surfaces with some brake clean and wipe any excess oil or grease that may have accidentally got on them off. Also, not sure how the pilot bearing works with the electric motor, but on traditional engine/trans mating, there is a spline tool you use to make sure the flywheel, clutch, and pressure plate are all aligned correctly before torquing them down. If not, a wobble or vibration may be induced. Otherwise, great video and I wish you the best of luck….even though this is an older video, good luck!

[@oszyto]

Very nice project!

Im looking to do this to my old xj with a dual ac 50 I'll be following your product to see how it goes.

[@TheObaby18]

Very impressive. The key thing you successfully accomplished was research. I've been procrastinating on this project for 3 years. I have the Truck, took out the engine myself and all I have to do is remove the remaining ice components and put my electric engine in. Great job kid.

[@nkululekoshazi155]

Thanks that was very nice short, I want to do the same with Tesla motor but I'm not sure where can I find flywheel hub that will fit in a Tesla motor so that I can add clutch.

[@joeschlotthauer840]

Where did you get the flywheel hub and motor adapter... I thought you needed a torque reducer because of how fast the electric motor spins in rotation compared to the gas engine...

[@sysomyoung7437]

So smart!!!

[@iceqmt6433]

Love this project! Just wanna know what motor are you using?

[@samuelbeylerian9534]

I'm doing a similar project and was curious on where you got the flywheel hub

[@yaserahmadi7824]

I do actually believe you can do it. Waiting for new video

[@angry3055]

This is a cool project, i have rebuilt alot of ICE,transmission, and differntial. For a long time i have been researching the idea of swapping a electric motor with least 300-350 pounds of torque capability too a simply transmission bell housing. IMO a decent electric motor has better torque muiltplcation effect with a good transmission gear ratio and rear end. The electric motors are being sold in diiferent power levels. Question: What battery cell,pack,acid, are you planning too used. But because of the instant torque of these electric motors..make sure your transmission is too task. My personal choice would be a TH400...very strong in stock form and very simple too rebuilt.

[@omegarugal9283]

you dont need a transsmision, you can hook it directly to the differential

[@fundol5365]

cool

[@haroldkreye8770]

It’s wonderful to see forward-thinking youth, without sagging pants, tattoos, and body piercings. Thanks for an informative video.

[@francescolucherini1216]

Hi, nice job! I have a question: what type of bolts have you used to connect the adaptor to the gearbox? And, do you know where I can find the technical drawings of the gearbox if I want to design the adapter from zero. Thank you!!!

[@alexwagonfeld4107]

[@matthewpowers9848]

Keep going !!!!

[@G58]

Did you use a clutch plate centralising tool?

[@Rasyid_Puteraa]

hello, this project is very cool, how many kW engine does this use? Or maybe what engine rpm and torque do you need for this project?

[@scottbaker9066]

NICE, I'm converting a '79 Triumph TR7 - no clutch. What batteries will you be installing? I have batteries from a Fiat EV.

[@laokartoon7300]

Did you make the motor/transmission adapter? Or you can buy them?

[@joeordinary209]

How will you manage the ECU? I know its not as such needed when the old engine is gone, but believe air bags and some other stuff is controlled through the original ecu?

[@abrahamdmeneses8839]

Ojalá te pudiera dar mis subscriptores 😂 good vídeo!👍

[@clarkleakins879]

No information in the video description. What is the motor manufacturer/part number? Is the motor 3 phase AC? Power rating? What battery manufacturer? Maybe this information is on a separate video? I'm watching! Have a 1989 that would be eligible for EV conversion.

[@mo2058130]

Greetings! How would you go about using and electric motor only for cruising speeds? but retain gas engine? transfer case? th x !

[@washibonsai5307]

Hi Daniel, Thanks for your video. Could you help me to find the supplier for the parts you use in your video? It is rather challenging in Dubai to find it so I have to import everything.

[@doscoras1]

awesome i was thinking to do the same..... with my old jeep so i google if any body already made it..... AWESOME!!!! man... if you willing to share knowledge.... i know you invest time, so we can get agreement. i can pay for you knowledge :)

[@marks7352]

I DON'T USUALLY SUBSCRIBE ...... But I did with you.... Thumbs up

[@lilicrashes]

the flywheel and other parts that connected to the transmission, did you have to get special items or did you re-use your existing ones? Also where did you get the plate that covers the transmission from dirt?

[@TheEVProj]

I retained the existing flywheel and clutch. The adapter plate and flywheel hub are from Canada EV.

[@javiernevarez4727]

Awesome project! I’m doing the same thing with my Jeep. What are you doing about the steering and braking?

[@shaffy62]

You will need an air pump for braking s but steering have to be modified for electric

[@xmodalloy]

Back when I did it, I didn't have access to premade adapters or couplers. I had to machine my own. And use a random forklift motor from ebay. And build my own kit controller. And use garbage lead acid batteries. Whatever you do, PLEASE do not use lead acid batteries. Use LiFePO4 batteries if you can. Lithium Ion is also OK, but a bit more dangerous and more picky.

[@ahmedkhalid4547]

Where to find the flywheel hub that sits on a specific motor?

[@collinator68]

Should have put some locktight on them bolts for the motor adapter plate.

[@abrahamjohnson3817]

That's really good. I appreciate your work buddy. I'm interested in knowing what motor it is? If I want to convert my ICE to electric, what are the options for the motors?

[@duandlew5206]

Look into buying a used forklift motor. Brushless dc, or BLDC is what you want

Hey man where can I get an adapter plate like yours? Do you have part numbers by any chance

[@mateivaly5007]

How come you decided to keep the clutch? Usually they say that EV s dont need gears, that just one gear is enough, or that you can change gears without a clutch

[@sunshineken4062]

what kind of electric motor did you use? I'm doing a thesis for a mock up of an automatic transmission and I need a inexpensive electric motor that can run the transmission so it can change gears depending on the speed. what kind of electric motor should i use?

[@BP021]

Parts list? Adapter etc would be cool if you put a link on the bio

[@stu5762]

Sooo can you replace the battery 🔋 with a small Yanmar diesel generator or Honda gas generator in the back???

[@raufmalik9128]

For a 1500kg car weight and gasoline engine of 2.0L producing 140HP. Could you kindly suggest AC motor capacity that could be utilized?

[@Kaiyes_]

Amazing job ! One question. Could we not attach motors directly to wheels ? Bypass the transmission altogether ?

[@austinradtke9730]

You could do that and it would be simpler if you weren't planning on doing much off roading. But I think using the transmission would be beneficial for gear reduction and putting less stress on the motor for climbing steep gradients. Plus, I'd imagine it would make regenerative braking more effective in sketchy trail scenarios. If he had a 4x4 transfer case, he could even use that instead of the transmission.

[@omegarugal9283]

@@austinradtke9730 since thus is 2wd i forgot about the tranfer case, you can skip the transmission and hook the motor to the transfer case input, less weight and can use low range for extra torque

[@fireandrevivalinmyheart6365]

Hi bro, did you po use the clutch system to this car I wonder have to install it coz I'm planning to convert my car but I know how to do it..thanks and regards, Godbless you

[@stu5762]

Is that motor big enough for a suburban or tahoe?

[@guccimy_g1150]

whered u get that adaptor?

[@greatdavid1699]

Good Job Man, please I have some questions for you. (1) what's the characteristics/rating of the motor (2) How did you connect the accelerator to it and the type of batteries used. Thanks

[@PJM454]

Being a DC motor, you can control the speed by adjusting the votage so I would suspect he's using some sort of voltage regulator to adjust the speed. Would be similar to a rheostat adjusting the voltage to dim a light bulb.

[@MuhammadSofwanRomli]

What the motor specification you use for that?

[@pt.valveteknikjaya5078]

how many amperes the motor is and how many watts the dynamo is using

[@KlaudioArg]

which brand and model is your engine?
