Anybody doing an EV conversion right now? Which E-motor, inverter, batteries are you using? What do you think about the weight analysis and what will the electric range be? Let me know what you are up to and what you think about our choices! 😊🙌🔋

At a typical energy density of about 0.2 kWh/kg for bare modules, 250 kg for the complete battery implies less than 50 kWh, which is enough for a functional Jeep... the bigger problem may be finding space for the module. At a density for the Mach E's LG modules of about 0.36 kWh/L, 50 kWh would be about 140 L... plus all of the mounting, wiring, and enclosure space. The range with 50 kWh while pushing this barn door might be about 200 km. It will be interesting to see how it actually works out.

Yes! I'm currently converting my 1981 DeLorean into an EV. For all components, I went with a 2019 Chevy Bolt EV - so I have 66kWh of brand new LG Chem batteries, a 150kW electric motor with integrated single-speed transmission and differential, and the inverter is the one straight from the car with matched specs. Your weight analysis looks good to me! I think 250kg would translate to about 55kWh and a range of around 165 miles (estimating, since the Cd*A is probably pretty bad on a Jeep, so maybe ~3 miles/kWh). Be sure to take into account how much your battery boxes will weight, cooling plates, all that stuff. I think it's easy to add up without realizing it.

Another interesting and clever conversion by 'Electric Classic Cars' used a tesla unit located where original transfer case is, So the drive shafts to fwd and aft axles come out of Tesla unit where Left and Right wheel used to be. I don't know details about ring & Pinion Reduction in axles was dealt with - they must have done something for that.

Oh man, that's amazing you were able to get 3d scans and then 3d print them at 1:4 scale!! That's fantastic - super helpful. I tried to use the POP 3d scanner to do the same on my conversion, and it just failed horribly. I could not get any reasonable full-size scan even though I spent about a dozen hours on it.

Your videos with technical content have cleared many doubts and helped to understand the path to this.

Interesting contents. Love to see comprehensible explanation and all the conversion process. Conversion exsiting gasoline/diesel/LPI vehicle is good way for upcoming electrified veheicle era, since scrapping all the parts of the vehicles on the road takes huge amount of wastes to deal with. With conversion, like the Jeep's frame, some parts can be still used rather than disposed. Anyway, love to watch video in this channel.

Great treatment of the calculations surrounding the selection. In your application, how did the torque off the line with your new 11.19:1 ratio compare with the original first-gear launch? If I have the right data and am computing correctly, the total drive ratio in high first is 14.62:1.
@ElectrifiedVeronika
@ElectrifiedVeronika Жыл бұрын
Thanks for the question Brian. Of course the biggest difference with "off the line" torque comes from the fact that the original engine torque curve is VERY different from the electric motor torque curve which has (basically) full torque at 0 rpm. In fact, we are planning on limiting the power delivery at low RPM's so we don't break things as the electric motor, especially with the 3:1 gear reduction, has the ability to supply significant torque at low RPMs.

1mile=63,360in, 100mph=6,336,000in per hour. If the circumference of the wheel is 97", then each time the wheel goes around once, you cover 97". So, 6,336,000/97=65,319 rotations per hour. Then divide by 60 to change from rotations per hour to RPM, so 1088 (close to 1084...pi*d for a 31" wheel is actually 97.34" not 97"...)...

You mentioned that two motors separately driving front and rear axles would be very expensive and you worried about matching speeds and retaining 2x vs 4x4 functions. But ... two used Tesla front drive units with inverter would be under $4K and the Cascadia is $12K. Using the complete Tesla drive units would mean saving some weight eliminating the Jeep differentials front and rear, but would require (probably) custom half-shaft drive axles. And syncing the two motors and powering only front or rear to retain 2x and 4x4 funtionality could be done electronically, no ? Even choosing the single-motor configuration you have, a brand new motor used in the Mach-e is $4K and the matching inverter $1800. There are so many used or newer options, I don't think many DIY people would choose the expensive Cascadia products.

We are now starting a conversion with two E-motors - one in front, one in back - and another one with one used Leaf motor - that will significantly bring down the cost. Stay tuned for that! We are really happy with the Cascadia Motion E-drive because everything is integrated and all set up and communication with the VCU is enabled and proven.

i still think permanent magnet motors are better, especially at lower speeds. they have a broader range of efficiency. around town in my old chevy volt i regularly get 5+mi/kwh. i dont think any ev mfg uses a permanent magnet motor right now, too expensive to make.

I think a 100 mph in a jeep is crazy fast that any wind road obstacle will make it uncontrollable! If you lighten the jeep it would be even worse, I would look at 85 as a top speed! You're talking about a jeep wrangler, its as aerodynamic as a cow with a suspension of a tractor!

we will not achieve the 100mph because of several losses, I will talk more about this in another future video. I agree, with this Jeep you can't go faster than 70/80, I realized that when we drove back from Nebraska to Milwaukee, 10 hours long, when we bought the Jeep 😂

Choose a motor that has a top RPM of about15 to 25% higher than your desired top RPM for safety.

100 mph is ridiculous for a Jeep and achieving it will greatly reduce your rang. Probably 80-85 should be max and even that is optimistic.

Hey engineer, sorry you seem to be confused about this. I am getting a combined on board chargers plus dc/dc converter. The on board charger converts ac to dc when getting power from an ac source (like a level 2 charger) and the dc to dc converts the high voltage bus from the HV battery down to the 12V needed by many parts of the vehicle and to charge the 12V battery. And then dc to ac is the vehicle inverter for the traction motor. Hope this clarifies it, more to come soon in case you are still interested.
