The Model E - 1930 Ford Model A Roadster All Electric EV Bolt In Conversion. Tesla battery & Hyper9.

If you think how many Model A were hot ridden in the 50s, this is really just a continuation of the spirit of hot rodding. You put a modern power plant in it and made it better and faster. That’s hot rodding at its very finest.

I can see where it would be polarizing. ha. I absolutely love it. There were EV's back when this one rolled off the line, some folks might want to check their history. (edit) Forgot to mention THANK YOU for making it reversible. I don't know if people know how much work that is.

As a 1931 Model A Roadster owner myself, I think this is pretty dang awesome. I appreciate the fact that it is a bolt in conversion and does not detract from the driving experience (minus the engine sound that I am a sucker for). In a more looking into the future tone, as electrics and the battery improve I do see a place for EV conversions such as this. Especially looking 30+ years away. Do I feel you will still be able to get fuel for the old engines? Hopefully, however I do see rising cost and if EV's fully take, less locations to get fuel, Let alone fuel that is more friendly to the old engines (AKA no ethanol). Thanks for helping make things look a little brighter in the future of the old car hobby.

Considering electric cars predates this wonderful classic by some two decades, I'm not at all upset at the conversion. And anything to get young people interested in classic/antique cars is a plus in my book.

[@danielh4995]

Excellent work as always guys! The fact that it is entirely reversible with no significant modifications made to the body or frame of the car is the cherry on top, also that charging port location was a stroke of genius. You can still fully enjoy the car and get more reliable use out of it than you might with the original motor, but if you change your mind or want to sell it later you can simply swap the original motor back in. I have driven cars from that era before and trying to navigate modern congested roads with a 20-30hp car that tops out at 40mph can be unnerving to say the least.

[@dissrepair]

Thank you for the encouragement. We loved this car and look forward to building more like it. I especially like that it can be returned to original, if someone wanted to. It is basically an engine swap! Thanks for watching!

The Model A has 40 horsepower. It was the older Model T that had only 20 horsepower. Don't exaggerate. Classic cars should be kept STOCK. Get a Shay Replicar if you want faster and/or more modern.

@@michaelbenardo5695 I see your reading comprehension is lacking. I was referring to a prewar packard and others not the model A when I mentioned HP and speed. You must be a miserable person at car shows. In the many shows I have gone to I have only seen a handful of truly all original stock cars. Different intakes or exhaust, different carbs, paint, etc the majority or cars I see are modified in some way. At least in this case the car can easily be returned to stock and it wasnt cut up to make a hot rod. I find it hard to have a problem with someone bolting on a set of reproduction wheels and radial tires on their muscle car to drive around on while the bias plys sit in the garage. Thankfully its not your car and not your decision so all you can do is scoff at people from your self appointed position of piety as you walk around car shows noticing bolts put in backwards and alternators where generators should be.

[@jeffthebaptist3602]

I don't love gutting an original Model A because it overheats. It shouldn't. They could have probably fixed that problem with a radiator swap. I do love that there is a E conversion kit for the A though. The Model A is on a short list of cars that will probably always have available parts. Much like a VW bug, you can essentially build one from scratch today out of a parts catalog if you had the money. So having an electric drivetrain available so that someone could build an e-rod is a great idea.

[@realvanman1]

First and foremost I most appreciate your dedication to avoiding modifying anything permanently. That was the best news. The workmanship looks quite good too. It doesn't look like a hack job, which is also very good news. That said, I normally do not consider electric conversions that retain the transmission to be good, but, in this case, it avoided hacking up the drive train, and so it actually makes sense here. Just leave it in high gear, if it has an appropriate motor. You could swap in a lower axle ratio. No harm in that. My Model A pickup has 4.11 gears, and the old engine is rather screaming along at 65 mph. Would love to swap my gears for yours lol. To me, the BEST part of old vehicles IS the original or at least period correct drive train. THAT'S what makes them interesting, outside of just looking neat. So, I don't have a problem with the electrical conversion specifically, just non-period correct engine swaps in general. In my experience, Model As drive in today's traffic without issue, so all of that talk to the contrary was just unnecessary justification, and it is largely untrue. Never heard of one blowing a head gasket, but of course it's possible with any engine, so I don't doubt it could happen with one of these as well. Mine has been in the family since 1941, and of course I want to keep it as original as practical. It's not restored, it's just a cool old truck. Driving it is very much like stepping into a time machine. The sights, sounds, vibrations, the odors, all of it. Like stepping back in time.

[@leroybyrd7545]

First, I'm happy to see the mostly positive feedback from people with open minds. There is one valid point for my specific support of this project. With the ICE, the car could not meet the needs of the owners as a car they could rely on. Whether it was a weak engine, noise, fueling issues, or something else, the switch to an EV made the car more useful to those owners. It became faster, more reliable, easier to maintain, and likely to last far longer than to refurbish the original engine. I do hope the owners like the modification enough to make the decision to modernize other parts, like the brakes and transmission, saving those original parts from further wear and tear, while making the car even more useful to themselves. It was also nice to see these modders show respect to the car they were working on. Far too many people leave nothing original, turning a classic into something else. (better maybe, but like this car, the quirks make the car.)

Unfortunate that the previous restoration sounded more cosmetic than mechanical. Even in gas form these cars are pretty tough and reliable. That said, this is a neat conversion.

Should still be plenty able to lock up at speed on Model A tires and at that point more braking doesn’t help.

[@hermes667]

I love it. Had an old Jeep for more than 20 years, then bought an EV. Love both, but fact at least for Germany is: Upkeep of IC-Vehicles is expensive, especially those with high fuel consumption and electric vehicles give you a smoth drive with way more power.

Fantastic! My old man bought a model A in the end of the 60's and it is in dire need for some restoration. Don't think I would have converted it to electric, but that's just because of it's history. Love your work on this one! It really does look original. Subscribed.

A much smoother ride is obtained when the originals A’s wheels are replaced with 1932 wheels and the spare fits the fender well too.. I drove a 1931 Model A pickup with 1932 wheels in high school and College.

We’ll, it has good visibility. Nice job with the trans adapter, but the Model A flywheel housing isn’t cast into the block, it’s a bolt-on part, and you can buy one for about $40. Another advantage of the Model A is that third gear is not a gear, but a direct coupling of the input and output shafts, so it’s totally quiet.
