I’m in the early planning stages of converting a 1956 Jeep CJ5 that I pulled out of a friend’s woods. I was considering doing the same sort of direct to transfer case mount, I think you’ve convinced me that’s the way to go. I’m glad I found your channel, I’ve got some binge watching to do.

Very cool to hear that, will definitely follow to see how your conversion goes! Let me know if you need anything.

CAD - "Cardboard Aided Design" 🤣👏 Love it!! Can't wait to see the EV Jeep in person!

Great Update. Everything is coming together for the Electrified Veronika's Electric Gilmore Girls Jeep. (EVEGGJ) 🙂 I love your "Cardboard Aided Design" (CAD). Keep up the great work.

It's kind of funny - because we have the whole jeep as a CAD file where we can play around with components any time, but really making that cardboard box and trying it in real-life was such an important step and felt really great!

Cardboard Aided Design! 😁love it!

Heads up: the Jeep Conversion playlist is listed in reverse, with the newest videos playing first. Good stuff btw

lookin good

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.

“Cardboard aided design” 😂😂 Love it. Love these videos so much guys. Thanks for sharing it. Learning so much about this conversion for my own project.

Thanks for watching!

Would love to build an old EV pickup truck one day but just don't have the funds..... so until I do, I will follow along. Great info and you and your husband are very inspiring

And the price for EV conversion will come down in the future, so stay tuned! Thanks for following along!

I found the motor I want to use for my future project and it is going to be a BEAST. 750 hp electric motor. I am now searching for a running gear that will not break under the power.

That sounds awesome and that's a lot of power haha! Which one did you pick and why?

@@ElectrifiedVeronika , I just like power and want to see how it does in the truck and tractor pulls. The power and torque curves looks pretty good and I also want to aim for a high performance vehicle with some range. I'd like to see around a 400-500 mile range. At the moment I am considering a hyper car kit car so maybe long range will not be a goal but would still like to see at least 300 miles out of it. I still need to learn how the battery packs are calculated. I may consider purchasing a few scrapped Teslas to use for parts

You might want to look into a slip yoke eliminator (SYE) kit for the rear output. I guess if you never plan on putting a lift you'll be OK but since you've got it all apart and in the air, I'd say you might as well. Just my opinion. :)

Thank you for the suggestion, will look into it!

How much was this cascadia motor and which model are you using for it. I’ve been interested in doing a 1960s mustang conversion and my 92 jeep xj

It’s a cool idea, love it ,, do you have have a cost for all this EV conversation?

So the whole weight is on the blue adapter plate's support?

Was the original transmission a 6 speed manual? I wonder if that might help reduce battery load by using a manual transmission as I know from driving my truck that in 5th gear at 70 I am running less rpm than when I am starting out in 6th gear. Plus there would not be the need for a gear reduction unit. Basically I feel the OEM transmission would provide varying gear reduction or increase. No gate here as I love the project!

Real life makes plans evolve.

Great hobby :) I wonder how many $$$ you put in this project, I have a TJ 1997, but I will not have time and patience to do this I will probaly buy the next electric jeep.

Well Cardboard Aided Design is way useful than Computer Aided Design . 👍

Yes 😊 after all it is when you really want to make things happen hehe

May I ask if for example 800v EV, is this 800V is also the voltage going to the motor or lower?

I have a 97 Jeep XJ 4X4 automatic. What kinda cost is it to do a conv on something like that?

Why not change the diff ratios instead of the 3:1 reducer?

Hello! Are you using the iDM-190 cascadia motor?

We are using the iM-225

May I know the voltage of the drive motor?

Hallo, bietest Du auch einen kompletten Antriebskit für einen Jeep Wrangler yj in Zukunft zum Kauf an? Vielleicht in Deutschland.😊

Looking good. Will you have to go through any process to declare it "street legal" ?

We'll see. We went to the local DMV in the very beginning and they told us to just come back with a list of components and they check it over - then it will be turned into a hobby car..and that's it..

Over here you better know before starting that what you're doing will get through the red tape, and nobody would be saying "we'll see" when they're half-way through the build :)

Here in Wisconsin she will have to nothing at all unless it has a salvaged title. If it has a Salvage or Junk Title, You just need to schedule an inspection by the DOT and they will issue a Reconstructed VehicleTitle with a new VIN and everything. Years ago I had a 1980 Pontiac Trans Am that was put on a Chevrolet Blazer Chassis and it had a Reconstructed Vehicle Title.

Almost 21K$ for motor inverter, then say 10K$ for batteries, 10K$ for extras and labour. I would say $40K-$50K in total.

Thanks 👍☺️, am connected. I need guidance. Am about to start my DIY, Africa. Please 🙏🥺 help??

That sounds exciting! Let us know how we can help!

so why dont you use wheel based motors and then remove the entire flooring and replace it with a flat straight flooring and then have the battery box mounted underneath, raise the jeep to accomindate the height of the box and that way you have a center of balance and dont have to put any of it in the back or under the hook , dont need gear boxes, adapter plates and so forth and still have 4-wheel drive when you want it with independent suspension.

That was one of the options we looked at (I think we talked about it in episode 2 of this playlist) - at the time, it was extremely difficult to get in-wheel motors in such small numbers (it probably still is) and we were concerned about the cost and control of the individual motors. Certainly with that option the integration of batteries is much easier and comes closest to the "skateboard" design most OEMs are doing today.

Just like ppl say no Jeep deserves to be pink, no Jeep deserves to be a ev. Poor old TJ my favorite generation and my first ever Jeep. Poor little guy

Why not change the diff ratios instead of the 3:1 reducer?

@neilpaulgaard3165

Because the transfer case would likely grenade at the 6,000 rpm the electric motor turns.
