Hello everyone, technical details of conversion to electric traction Mersedes-Benz W163 MLEV

If I understand that photos correctly, this conversion is 4WD using Leaf drive units at both front and rear, using the original W163 suspension at both ends. It looks like a very tidy job.

Before seeing this, I did not realize that the W163 used torsion bars for front springs.

Very cool indeed. The ML looks perfectly suited for a EV 4x4 conversion

Questions:
Which motor/inverters did you end up using? The EM61 or EM57. From the pictures I assume EM61 (gen1)
It looks like you used modified half shafts (CV) but in the picture I see drive flanges, confusing
Did you use the gen2 PDM?

I am now finishing my Saab 93 cabrio and a Daihatsu Rocky for a friend. I would love to do a conversion with this M series, it looks very tidy. Also they are relatively cheap here in NL
