Hello guys, EVs/Lithium have been a true revelation ever since I've watched Tony Seba's presentation (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2b3ttqYDwF0&feature=youtu.be)
After thinking for a while on how to get into the business, I taught about a business concept that could be applicable in the real world TODAY.
Converting recent(2011+) ICE with 200 000KMs to EV.
I would target the service industry trucks since they make TONS of millage fast (30k/year).
Located in Quebec, Canada I think there is a great market for this because:
A) Cheap electricity
B) High gasoline price
C) Possible subvention
D) Population is pro green
Your skill level with auto mechanics and fabrication:
I was trained & worked in HVAC ~5 years ago for around 3 years. Therefore I have decent background knowledge in electric circuits, mechanics & thermodynamics. I would hire my father since he has extensive auto mechanic experience and is a great handyman.
The range you are hoping to get (how many miles/charge):
100-200km
What level of performance you are hoping to get:
120KM/h, bear in mind that a Savana weight roughly 5000lbs
How much money you are willing to put into your project:
I would allocate roughly 250k to this venture and the swap must be less than 25k per unit (without labor)
What parts you've already considered, if any:
Power steering & A/C
I have been reading lots of content in the past couple of days but realistically I have no idea where to start from.
Any help would be tremendously appreciated!
Best regards,
Laverdure
