Amazing job ! This is by far the cleanest EV retrofit project I’ve seen so far and knowing you did it on your own leads to a massive respect from my side ! I would still rather enjoy the intoxicating sound of a V6 in a Rover 75 (not everyone can afford a 911 and a 75 v6 does provide genuine emotions to humble petrolheads) but I must confess what you’ve acheived is amazing since it might be the only way allowed to continue driving this kind of car in a not so far future. Keeping the manual transmission is a key factor in order to maintain a relevant driving experience for those old cars. I hope some day this kind of transformation will become affordable and easy to be considered as street legal. Anyway congratulations from a true Petrolhead who hopes EV retrofitting won’t become too soon an obligation for those who want to continue driving the cars they have been loving for décades...

Nice! Great idea picking a 75 since they were known for their submarine quietness. Dorchester red is one of the best (and more rare) colours. This would be a hit if it had more range. Anybody who ever sad in a Tesla and then saw the interior of a Rover 75 would instantly dump the Tesla.

Ich bewundere diesen Motorumbau wirklich. Ich habe das Gespräch über dieses Auto im UK 75 / ZT Club gelesen. Elektroautos sind die Zukunft und ich respektiere Sie sehr dafür, dass Sie einen Elektromotor in dieses schöne Auto eingebaut haben. Ich würde wirklich einen kaufen!

Coor if I won the lottery my diesel 75 would have this conversion. Awesome job.

Well done!! Rover 75 ... A class on its own. Like that on the Reg-Plate and the car. I drive the MG ZT-T 1.8T version as my daily work horse. A very impressive conversion.

Crazily superb! What a fan of 75, me too.

I have a Rover 214, and thinking to do the same. Congrats!!!

This is super neat! Good job :)

I too own a Rover 75 Diesel auto tourer,, ,, I,m thinking my car has 150000 miles on the speedo,in about 10 years my car will be showing maybe 250 000miles and lets be honest it s time will be up... At that time I suppose the regulations for diesel cars will be very tough if not impossible to pass.. At that time I think I,ll try to do a electric conversion,, and things should be easier,with a bigger market for conversions then there is now.... I think your conversion looks great ,,Congratulations,, For my car compared to yours is " Could I use the electric motor with an auto box?"

Fantastic looking conversion, love the Rover 75, but please do make sure the water leaks are taken care of. Water in the boot with all that electricity flowing around would not work out well!

Also the chrome trim along the rear wings is clipped in place and a little bit can enter through the holes in the metal where the clips are. A little silicone sealant on the inside around the clips will cure that. Just pull the carpet back from the sides of the boot and you can see the clips. All the best!

I’m impressed by how neat the electrical work has been done in converting the car to electric. The first time I saw this done it looked messy, this looks like the car was built with electricity in mind, I’d love to know how much it would cost to convert a 1.8 Turbo to this standard, I’m guessing the acceleration time is fantastic.

Hello Richard, you have to reckon with a conversion with about 22HP (if you do a lot on your own). A 1.8 will convert just as well as a V6 (with manual transmission). You have to pay attention to the permissible axle load, after the conversion I baked in diesel springs). Acceleration: excellent in city traffic. But don't expect too much over land ...

Da ich selbst 2 Renault Zoé und ein 75 Diesel habe finde ich die Idee mit dem E Rover gut und hab da viele Fragen. Jedoch finde ich 22 kW als Akku etwas wenig bei der Gewichtsklasse und Verbrauch, wie wurde denn das "Heizungsproblem" gelöst? Welche Komponenten/ Spender wurde/n verwendet? Was sagt der TÜV dazu? müsste nicht vorab ein Crashtest durchgeführt werden da der Wagen ja mit Verbrenner gecrasht/getestet wurde. Wie funktioniert die "Schaltung"?- Rekuperation? Gern auch per E-Mail

@efbvideokanal3538

3 жыл бұрын

Rekuperation: geht durch den Curtis-Controller sehr gut, man bremst eigentlich nur mit dem Gaspedal, hatte ich mir nicht so komfortabel vorgestellt dieses rukperative Bremsen. Heizung: 4kW PTC, die Steuerung habe ich in die Heizungsautomatik für Fahrer und Beifahrer eingebunden. Das schöne ist, das er sofort beim Losfahren heizt. Wird gut warm. Kapazität: Ich hatte vorher ausgerechnet, das 22 kW auch im Winter für meine 100 km, die ich maximal beruflich täglich fahre, ausreicht. Die Akkus sind halt der teuerste Bestandteil des Umbaus. Wenn man noch ein Fahrzeug in der Familie für lange Strecken hat, genügt die beruflich notwendige Reichweite, ansonten muss man mehr Kapazität verbauen. Alle Komponenten sind Neuteile, die es für den Elektroautoumbau zu kaufen gibt, man sieht sie einzeln im Video. Für die TÜV Abnahme ist es wichtig, das sie alle eine CE Kennzeichnung haben und das das umgebaute Fahrzeug nicht jünger als Baujahr 2002 ist (sonst kommt noch die teuere EMV Prüfung dazu). Crashtest wird nicht verlangt. Der TÜV schaut sich aber natürlich den Umbau auch im Hinblick auf die Crashsicherheit an. Die Schaltung bleibt drin, man braucht sie aber nur noch wenig. Ich fahre immer im 3. an und schalte auf der Schnellstraße in den 5. Durch das hohe Drehmoment alles sehr entspannt aber natürlich nicht sportlich. In der Stadt ist man aber immer der schnellste, wenn man unbedingt will :-).

I haven't seen a conversion yet, the CCS loads. It's more complicated than that. You need a BMS that can do that. And you have to work with higher voltages (I think at least 200V) for CCS in the vehicle ... My conversion cost around 22 TE.

Die Rekuperation erfolgt proportional zum Lösen des Gaspedals, das Ansprechverhalten kann man über den Controller einstellen. Bremsen selbst wird dann nur noch notwendig, wenn das regenerative Bremsen nicht ausreicht, also eher selten.

Absolut toller Umbau ! Bin ganz ergriffen... nicht nur technisch ausgefeilt und durchdacht sondern auch stilvoll und stilsicher umgesetzt. Wenn ich nur an den Drehzahlmesser denke.... perfekt !

Herzlichen Dank für das nette Feedback :-) Nach einem Jahr Erfahrung mit dem Auto bin ich weiterhin auch froh, den Umbau so und nicht anders gemacht zu haben. Ob ein Automatikgetriebe funktioniert? Ich kenne selbst keinen Umbau, bei dem der Automat "dringeblieben" ist. Ich denke, es wird alles etwas komplizierter und die Schaltvorgänge sind beim Benziner ja auch völlig anders ausgelegt. Ein weiteres Argument ist, das das Fahren trotz Schaltgetriebe durch den Elektroantrieb viel weniger Schalten erfordert. Ich fahre meist im 3. Gang an und benutze dann nur noch den 4. oder 5., auch in der Stadt.

Das ist eine hervorragende Arbeit! Möchte gerne mehr erfahren... Hat das die Firma Fleck umgerüstet? Die Zukunft unserer Gleiter sind gesichert!

Hallo Tobias, ich habe selbst umgerüstet. Aber Heiko Fleck war dafür mein wichtigster Ansprechpartner und ich habe auch die wichtigsten Komponenten bei ihm gekauft. Ich wollte eine bewährte Motor - Controller - Kombination und nichts neu erfinden. Ich glaube das war gut so. Trotzdem bleibt jeder Umbau ein aufwendiges und hochgradig individuelles Projekt. Der Rover 75 eignet sich meiner Meinung nach sehr gut für einen Umbau. Er kann das Gewicht vertragen, man hat genügend Platz und er harmoniert einfach super mit so einem laufruhigen Antrieb. Das gleiten macht noch mehr Spaß!

Yes of course. When I converted, I used my own driving habits as a basis. The battery capacity is influenced by the weight of the vehicle and, of course, by the battery costs. Personally, even when it had a normal combustion engine, I drove to work every day and on some days with the children into town to school or to sports. For me, that's no more than 100 km a day. In the evening it is plugged into the socket and charged very cheaply. Of course, that's not enough for vacation. My wife's car has to be there.

I only charge with about 2 kW overnight, which is best for the batteries. Nevertheless, it is good to be able to charge with 10 kW sometimes ... I think 10 kW charging power is the limit for electric car conversion. More is only possible with DC, but I've never seen that with a conversion ...
