I am brand new to EV and conversions. I own an 05 prius, and an 04 expedition. I would like to get ahold of a 71 bronco to convert it to EV, or possibly find a way to make my expedition an EV.
Any ideas about converting a large vehicle like the Expedition?
Ummm. Spend a lot of money? Seriously the weight of a vehicle dramatically affects everything about an EV. The lighter the vehicle the better. This is why most of the conversions are of small and lightweight vehicles.
There have been a couple of large vehicles converted. The one I am most familiar with is Jack Rickard's Cadillac Escalade. He used two 11" motors, two Soliton 1's and filled most of the truck bed with 400 AH cells. Probably around $40k worth of stuff.
What is the reason you want to convert such a large vehicle? What are your goals for the conversion?
This is my 1st visit here but in this forum is so much info I will back soon i think. Grat to see how many ppl have same hobby.
