Thanks Jehu for letting me discover EVWEST few years ago, the majority of my parts in my conversion are from them !

Beautiful beautiful beautiful. You guys are the cosmic future hope of classic cars and mother natures band aid. Big love. X

I like watching and listening to people who know their staff👌👌

I'm glad to see an elegant EV conversion, most I've seen on youtube are funky and don't really follow the aesthetics of the car. really amazing work!

Always wanted a job like you guys have. Awesome!

Hey I just posted this, this may help: If anyone is interested in learning about Electric Vehicle Technology even further, which complements the excellent production and visibility made from this video by EV West, please certify with TUDelftX: online-learning.tudelft.nl/courses/electric-cars-technology/ It's a great resource that really introduces electric vehicle technology and has a forum of global students online! It always looks good to have an extra certificate as well which may not assure engineering standards but definitely a great preparation for! :) Being a part of Electric Vehicle Engineering is definitely revolutionary work that helps combat global warming and biodiversity loss. Hopefully there can be a union of this type of work like how there was a global one for electricity in the 40s and 50s and hopefully all mechanical EV Engineers can get a great pension! :) I too want to do this work out of passion as well as taking my science education to the next level and inspiring that women can do this work as well! :)! The more hands, the more collaboration, the better. There are a whole lot of cars on the road that need conversion!

This is a beautifully made video, and showcases some really talented and wise people. Thank you, please keep them coming, keep up the good work!

honestly I think that finding a car like this or one with a wrecked drive train and converting it is the future. It's less waste going into the environment, probably the same price or even slightly higher (which is made up for in the fuel savings/ maintenance) than re-kitting it with traditional components, and a more punchy throttle than with a normal gasoline engine. you guys and especially YOU Jehu are a huge influence in my passion for sustainable EV and I really hope that my first car out of college will be something like this. thank you so much

Actually, more waste will go into the environment if we spend time, effort and resources to produce those batteries. the process of which has not won any awards yet with biologists. So here it is. A perfectly fine car. Sure, the mileage isn't perfect, but that really is the only thing you can say about it. You're not saving the planet by swapping in a battery. You're increasing the problem. Instead of buying a new car or retrofitting an old one, which basically is the same as buying a new car in terms of what needs to be produced, you could also just drive your existing car. But no, instead of making sense, we're going to woo the public with some CO2 bullshit, make them trade in their cars and help the autmotive branch a big deal with these more expensive alternatives. Sure, you have a "punchy throttle" but I dare you right here and now, you take that battery leadsled of yours and I'll take a standard 356. We're both going to stop as fast as we can. Now, ofcourse we both know who is going to win this, so thats not the challenge here. The question is how many multitudes shorter my stopping distance is. Oh, and for shits and giggles, we should do the Elk-test too. Not to prove what is better, because everybody knows. It's all about how many multitudes it is better. And here you are, applauding the devolution of the automotive products. Not only that, you actually perceive this as evolution, despite all the physics in the world proving otherwise. And all that because you were told a fairytale about CO2. Anybody who takes 5 minutes time to look shit up themselves will find out that every week, many scientific peer reviewed papers come out proving the exact opposite. Now, if you'll excuse me, i need to tweek at my 2.5kg bottle of CO2 hooked up to my aquarium. 3x growth rate just isn't enough. Maybe we can hit 4x if I dial it up just that little more.... What do you think?

Great music choices. I like this edit! Thanks for posting it.

Great job Jehu. Awesome production and story telling. You keep getting better and better. Terrific subject Porsche and Electric cars!

Outstanding. Was an absolute blast to watch

Wow, I'm impressed. Style, power and smarts in a single car. Very professionally converted, kudos to this company!

Nice to see some technical stuff about the process including the motor.

Wow this video is super professional Hope it goes viral

Wonderful video, what a great end result. A silent classic Porsche!

I really love this. Even that beatle that they had in the background converted to electric is awesome. I remember having a beatle and it was super unreliable, mind you, it was a couple of decades old. But blowing new life into one with a electric motor and making it reliable again , I really like that idea.

Great quality here Jehu. All of your work over the last few years has paid off.

The Porsche came out beautiful! Really cool project... Kudos on the high production value of the video too.

I don't have a car. I don't even have a drivers license (starting this year) but I suddenly am interested in restoring cars and also converting cars to electric ones. The videos are also very relaxing.

Great job Jehu! Simply beautiful: workmanship, videography, editing. Awesome!

YEAH! That's some quality content. Nice production values!

I'm in the UK ... that's a thing of beauty and love the way the guys think in real world terms what the cars can do Great work

So nice!! And so perfect!! I love this!! Greetings from Querétaro México

Nice videos Jehu! I can't wait to see that Pinzgauer build!

A great video demonstrating the very best in the unity of everyone who works at EV West. It would be a real pleasure to work there, and each new day is exciting to see progress happen. You are pioneers who will always be able to convert the 'classics', and in doing so, contributing to the greening of this Planet! May this continue. Greetings from Australia.

This is what I call a high quality video production with the information that I was looking for, well done guys

One word.....AWESOME 😉👍I’ve never seen such professionalism in the many industries I’ve been with, next to my military days 👍

Used to watch Pimp my Ride and always wished to see ..pimping to something like this..Way Cool!!!! :-)

Thanks for putting it up on the channel.

This car....this car....this car is so beautiful, I wanted to cry! AND the fact that it's electric is AWESOME! If only ALL mechanics were this knowledgable, ethical and just downright cool! I thoughly enjoyed watching the "coversion" process from beginning to end. BARVO guys! BUT, the shot of Trent getting into the car near the seashore at sunset......aaaahhhhh, like watching a dream!!!! Thank you for sharing!

Very cool! In addition to the beautiful Porsche replica, that red VW that they used as a backdrop in several shots was beautiful too.

the phenomenally attractive looks of this vintage car make a beautifully engineered electric drive concept shine even brighter. well done

Excellent production Jehu!

You always see regular porches converted to electric, it's great to see this kit car porche done up very nicely. 👍

One of my favorite cars from one of the best shops around, thanks for videoing this and sharing! Can't wait until I can have you do a 356 replica for me one day!

What a beautiful car!!!!.💖

Thanks Jehu. I love these build videos! More More More!

very cool, like the German motor, exciting how ya'll are sparking imaginations , I live in Austin TX and wants to convert some of my 1966 vw buses, good work love it ! wish there was a shop near us.

Very well done, enjoyable to watch. Blows my mind knowing how much one man can do.

This is so cool! My favourite car, and who doesn't want an electric car? Great work. 👍

Nice video and what a great shop. Glad to hear you're encouraging other people to convert their cars. There was a time if you wanted an electric car you had to make it yourself. A lot of stuff was happening back in the 90s that seems to just have been forgotten. I went to three electric car events in coco beach Florida called the " Sunday challenge.. part of the event was to drive our cars from Cocoa Beach to Disney World 76 miles. We had three hours to do it and the roads were blocked off by the police so we didn't have to stop at traffic lights. When we got to Disney World which we got into for free we parked our cars and showed them off to the public . At the time 20 golf cart batteries was the standard setup 120 volts with a Curtis controller and I Advance DC was the popular setup . They had gotten grant money to put this all on and when the money was gone the event stopped. I started my own event in my own hometown and how did every year for the next 18 years, in 2014 I moved and never started a car event in the new town I moved to.

Power to you folks - literally! Keep up the great work and conversions...

A very Great video, showing how eazy it was to put in the main components. The passion for EV's came across from the shop. Maybe in two years time, you will do a comparison. Showing how things ( Components ) have moved on, on your quest for more efficiency in EV's. Thank You.

Thats A real goodlooking car ❤️❤️

Great video. So neat to see the whole process of converting a chassis.

Wow!! THAT is one NICE ride! Excellent work!

I really enjoyed watching this. Thanks for sharing.

Amazing build. I like how the transmission was saved and used. I wonder what the price tag for a build like this would be. Personally I'd rather own this fiberglass electric replica Speedster than a real vintage gasoline powered Speedster. I live in Hawai'i so this would be the perfect weekend island cruiser. Mahalo nui Jehu for sharing this great video.

we just love all you do. Period. Most watched Ev-show in Kenya

Awesome episode, great production and sound work. World class job man.

I'm all in, but getting JPS to do the job. Can't wait to drive it, though it's going to take time to build the car.

damnnnn they have a neat setup! That car must be so expensive $$$$. However, the good thing in US, there not so much inspection or police check involved when you modify your car. Here in Quebec. Canada is another story!

Great production . Love this stuff. Want to convert my 1932 Ford model BB truck.

Great documentary. Worthy of a TV series. Velocity needs this.

Amazing engineering, loved watching the whole thing

This is good work. I fully intend to drive my car until an electric conversion becomes available to me. Not sure when that will be in my country, but all I know is that barring extraordinary circumstance I will not buy another ICE car.

The video is very well made, good editing, good choice of music. Overall this channel has a nice "infrastructure". Good stuff *Jehu* , Congrats! - Saludos!

Your dedication to perfection from the planing and engineering,through to fruition is commendable. The professional way in which the video was both produced and edited was most interesting.I wish you and your team every success in the world. I feel certain that you have inspired the minds of a great many up and coming engineers in this field. Thank you !

I've been hanging for more EV West videos, but I understand they are a business and can get quite busy, so glad to see Jehu showing us more of them.

Well done, very Impressed with the video documentary on EV and the Porsche build. I hope the future brings electric kits to the masses.

You guys are making sure the future is cool .. great job.

The speedster is by far one on my cars!

I want to see you someday convert a truck or semi. that would be great.

Leaders, many years from now grown up kids will be thanking companies like you. Super vid

Love this channel. Thanks so much for all your knowledge shared here

*Beautiful car.* It will last longer in the electric version. We can be very happy that it was kept alive for the electricity age.

I must say I was happy to see it was just a replica, I'm all for new normal cars becoming electric and certain fun restomods....but an actual Speedster should be left the hell alone...

This is nice love the Porsche. Looks great. Can a leaf owner get a battery upgrade from evWest.

That thing is SO freaking cool! I absolutely love it and I want one BAD! I wish I could afford one today, but I will someday:) peace from Maui🤙

I see a sizable market for Boxster conversions as the IMS and cylinder scoring catches up with them. I'll certainly look into this when my 2.7 wears out or blows up.

This is exciting think tanking. Inspiring! Maximum Respect ~ Loo
