You guys are awesome. I am a diehard petrol head hot rod classic car enthusiast and now finally appreciating electric power in classic cars. Well done👍🏾 and thanks from little New Zealand.

Matt Watsons reactions are unhinged. Amazing stuff Richard. Congratulations and here’s to many more subscribers! Cheers

IMO. The best clip is the sprint in the Beetle against the GT3

Mega video. Congrats and the 100k and hope to see you guys again soon 👍

You have made some absolute weapons there Richard!

I like the race between the oh so super Beetle and the green Porsche. That put me on the edge of my seat.

Incredible stuff you've pulled off here. I really hope that in the future these conversion kits become accessible and more affordable for everyone. Great for recycling these beautiful machines and giving em a new life. I will keep my 94 E38 stored until such a time when everyone will have a smile on their faces while on the road on electrons

Wow bloody Wow. I want both.

Gotta fix the slipping when launching... When that is fixed you can get closer to 3 seconds with same motor. Either use overpressure or solid rubber tires to increase traction... I remember using well over 2 bars on my 13" wheels. Even then I had to use 4th gear to get the best traction.

Fantastic outtakes, close but defender has my vote hahaha👍

All your conversions are fantastic, but the little mini absolutely takes the cake. Please send multiple mini kits to Australia!

Great clips and anything with CarWow's Matt Watson just cracks me up! When he is driving the Defender in that first clip his laughter is contagious.

Thanks for all the videos and congratulations on the 100K. It's always a great pleasure to see your beautiful conversions and I think, at least for me, your channel does more for electric vehicles than big advertising campaigns and well-intentioned information. I really like cars from before the mid-1970s, so your choice of cars has been absolutely perfect in my opinion. The Beetle and the Landrover made me laugh out loud. I would much rather drive the Beetle than VW's new electric models. If it has to be exotic, it could be fun to see an electric Saab 92-94 - the oldest model. Once you get started with a very French vehicle it will be fantastic to see an electric Citroen DS.

Congrats on 100k! Love that beetle and been thinking of doing a conversion myself on a classic bug. Slowly learning stuff. Not sure why some LFP batteries say there is a limit to the size of the pack, say a 12v limited to 4s4p at 48v for example. Physical battery design? The BMS hardware or software? What makes that same battery pack a bad idea at 12s12p for example to get up to 144vdc? Any good links or a quick summary to help out?

Your 600HP Electric Beetle is a world-Beater! But (should you decide to take your Beetle to a higher level), I believe that the Drag Coefficient of your Beetle is very poor. I own a flat windscreen 1971 Super Bug EV, and wondered if anyone knew exactly what the C of D was - for this type of car? I have been driving my Beetle EV for six months now, with Tesla battery Power and Netgain Hyper 9 Motor, it can leave many modern cars at the Lights, and in my rear-view mirror. Maybe a slight Roof Chop to begin with. (don't worry) - just keep your original cut roof because you could always make your super fast Beetle trim a second off that time (perhaps)! Greetings from Australia, where solar power is in abundance.
