when did you do this? Is that a warp 9 motor? how long does it take to charge and how far can it go?

Great job! We’ve got a Mini EV that the factory basically created by deleting the powertrain and accessories and welding up a cradle that mounts all the EV stuff where the ICE stuff went, bolting directly to the motor mounts. It is a blast although not as cool looking as the Ghia.

Nice job kid ! Now let's blow this thing and get the hell outta here

Not thinking this is for me …yet…perhaps someday

your very good doing conversion

Such a beautiful conversion. Very understated, very well executed. Would love to see more videos

I have a 91 Honda CRX. What would a E conversion cost?

A dream of mine to have an old car converted into electric. Kudos!

A lovely job..., but converting it to electric was sacrilege I'm afraid...😓

Was that from a kit? What’s the range on this setup?

I’m in Atlanta and have a ‘72 KG (I’ve owned since ‘87 in college) in great shape that I’d love to have converted. Do you do this for others? Please respond to let me know :).

I’d like to see an exact blueprint or how to manual of what you did in print I could possibly be interested in that video

I've looked into this conversion and it's terribly expensive for what you get. Love to to brag about the power but a $5000 engine would be more powerful. It's a novelty just because you can but it makes no financial sense and honestly for a car like this why would you want a ruin it with electricity anyway, you want that sound of that flat four rumbling away. These cars are toys not practical transportation. And even if you wanted to take it upon yourself to use it as your practical day-to-day vehicle it's far more practical gasoline than this conversion. Better said it's not even feasible as a true personal vehicle with it's extremely short range. It's like 100 miles or so, dismal and they are roughly 70k. Pretty awful value proposition, and for what? So it has a weird whine that is anyone as all get out or the sweet rumble of a flat four? You have to fall for their marketing hard to want to destroy a classic car like this.

Hi! Nice conversion. Where did you get the tachometer and how did you make it work with the Warp11? I’m staring a Karmann Ghia conversion using an AMD 9” DC series motor at 144V too.

Cool video! That might be the way we could go with our 69 Ghia. My son and I are working on our 69 Ghia that we saved from the car crusher 👍

P L E A S E ! ! I wouldn't want ANYONE ELSE to touch my 1974 convertible Karmann Ghia after watching your videos and process. Let me know if and when you receive this message/comment.

Would you consider doing an electric conversion for pay? Especially if you didn't have to do any body work? I have a 1974 that I want converted.

How does having the transmission work? I love manuals, but I don't know what it does and how in an electric application.

Ya one the music was a over kill and too your lieing to your viewers you dont get infinity miles battery's ware out and explode and 2nd if you get infinity miles cannonball across the country you have to stop at like 130 miles and recharge the bug dont fool anyone I also have a electric bug I know how many miles you can go bud nice try your no tesla oh and one more thing my chevy luv maybe gas but it will suck you in your seat and pull more G's than your bug until a electric vehicle cant out perform gas power at the track and I mean a serious gas power than talk but your bug gets the same amount of miles as mine oh and your the world's fastest daily driven bug either theres a silver bug has a tesla motor in and does over 140+ so you've been beaten

Killing Floor Soundtrack great choice!

my mans bigger than the bug

In every other car . . .ok. But in a original old VW Käfer, is it a sin !!!!!!!!!!!! Greetings from Bavaria/Germaney. 😞

Love the skidding but imagine if it was AWD, this thing would take off!

that thing is cool!

Absolutely Beautiful!

How can i get those components dudes

Love how you were talking about the clutch and then went on to explain the controller. "It's faster than hell anyways!" DEAD!

what a shame do that to a perfect running car.

First

Great video!!! The best!!! Can anyone do this, you made look easy. How many horsepower? Did you stay with your stock transmission? I have a competition motor (over 200hp)and transmission (close ratio gears) and pristine looking, do you still recommend electric? Thanks

I've spent a lot of time looking into this stuff over a bunch of years, and honestly I think this video has been the most inspirational to me. Because it gives me the impression that I can achieve the kind of power I want, with real numbers. I really want to bolt a motor (possibly a Warp 9) directly to a differential. I realize that'll require changing the gears in the diff, but do you think I'd get frustrated with only having one gear ratio? (I've basically always used manual transmissions, but so much stuff says electric motors don't need the gears.)

How do you possess so many skill sets?

HI!!What's the cost for the conversion?

What type of batteries are they mate?

WOW. Great work on this! Absolutely stunning!

A very talented guy.

How much you spend on the whole set-up!???

Can you estimate roughly hkw many hours of labor would the ev conversion need. None of the extra body work interior work or other not EV related things. Just have the car run EV. Thanks

great job mate! greetings from Bogota Colombia. Mate, I have a BMW 320 Model 1982. I wanna conversion it. Could ask about the kind of motor? starting conversion soon, Cheers

Amazing conversion and rehab!!! EV is the way!

Love it 👍 had a Karmann Ghia in HS/college. Love my EV. Will never go back to gas.

I have watched this video over five times the last year and a half and it ALWAYS amazes me. Do you have a "blue print" or a build schematic? just for ideas for other builders for similar small cars e.g. 1977 Mercury Capri

Damn impressive!

Oddly satisfying. Thanks for posting.

Can you tell me more about your charging station situation from solar, at your house? thanks.

Solder Everything! Crimping, no matter how hard you squeeze it, does not provide a Covalent bond. Look it up, you're moving electrons, you NEED a Covalent bond. Solder Everything.

How often do people ask you to do a build for them? I just restored my '69 Karmann Ghia convertible and also recently bought a Jaguar I-pace and would LOVE (and pay!!!!) for converting my Ghia into electric!!!!

Final drive in VW gearing is 7.2to 1 drag race gears are 4.88to 1. Regular highway gears are 3.08 to 3 73.

wow impressive

Brilliant set up!
