The Porsche "Speedster" has always looked more beautiful than it sounds and looked much faster than it actually was... You guys have solved both of these problems! Nicely done. 👍🏻
Great conversion? How many KWH of batteries and what is the range? With the 2 speed trans, does that improve the range vs having a single speed? Love to see one with a Tesla model conversion!
I so want to do a countach lp5000ev conversion. Build it on a tube frame chassis with the entire pack of a plaid underneath. Awd using the plaid wrecks powertrain components. Cfp body with 3d printed custom wide body kit, killer 18&20" deep dish wheels, all led lighting etc. 😎
Upside, lots of room for batteries in the trunk and engine bay, rear suspension Is very basic so throwing a motor back there is easy Downside; ungodly heavy for their size, mass is killer for range, power, cornering, everything
@@Ryukachoo You're right they're certainly heavy, although not as bad as you'd think compared to modern vehicles with all their structural reinforcement and tech equipment. It looks like the FE v8 in the Thunderbird weighs 650 lbs, I'm sure the transmission is another hunk perhaps adding up to 1000lbs you could potentially remove. The overall weight of the 2nd gen T-bird is listed as 4000lbs, so ya know, not bad in the grand scheme of things.
In the 70's we flew hang gliders in Santa Barbara and used a VW "Thing" with a custom rack to haul everything up the mountain. I think my dirt list car would be an EV West conversion of a Thing. (Ours had a thing's go better with coke bumper sticker). (It was a 70's Thing).
you can check with the sales team at EV west using sales@evwest.com they can tell you if me have the conversion package or which one we do have will work best for your application. Drew - EV West Media Manger
I drive an Aussie Ford Falcon ute and have often wondered how well it could be converted to EV. Lots of room in the engine bay for batteries as well as under the tub replacing the fuel tank. Presumably a Chevy Elcamino would be pretty similar in the US.
I'd love to see a classic MERCEDES conversion. I just happen to have a beautiful, Black 1995 E300 Diesel [120k orig. miles] close by if you're interested. Might be a good idea since diesels have such an intolerable, reprehensible and unshakably vile reputation to shed. Michael & crew, contact me for pics/more info. I can bring it by next week. Tons of space to work with--voluminous trunk and engine compartment for TESLA S mode[l] performance. i'd even let spicer drive it.
Chevy Astro Van with a solar array that will run the AC and all the sub system independent of the drive train. Oh and a really badass audio system for us crazy bass boys.
@@donelmore2540 so far it's only been small pilots in countries where tesla already has the ccs2 protocols on their sc unit's. However supposedly a permit was dug up last month for a new huge sc station in tx. That has v3 sc with combined ccs plugs in the permit paperwork. So it's coming soon, I wonder if they'll limit it to only manufactures which offer the plug n charge ccs protocols? 🤔
I mean … if this is for turo car rental or for leasing out to movies and tv I get it . But what the F**k man. No sweet smell of that catalytic free exhaust? No humming sound of that flat motor rip up and down ? No feeling that clutch and gear hook up to the engine through every gear? And the cherry 🍒 on top of the shit 💩 pie 🥧 I bet this brick weighs more now. Don’t get me wrong , EVs are cool , we have 2 teslas. But this shit makes no sense.
The Grandpa clown act performed by the Boomer presenter in this video is ridiculous!! The clown act totally distracts from the excellent execution on the EV West Speedster. EV West can do, and has done, better.

It's illegal how good it looks!
Sweet build, however it’s hard to take this guy seriously.
He's more classic than the Speedster styling
Same. It seems immature
Cool car, weird guy.
The guy is hard to watch.
He's is just too serious..
😜😜😆😆😕😐😶😴
Very 😎 and very Kuh-lean conversion..
👏👏🖖✌
I have to work with this guy... imagine that
Very nice conversion car. Beautiful work. Video presentation is still too spicey.
I don't care much for the EV portion of this video but my God that's one gorgeous old 356.
Lol (gas pedal) more like (go pedal) sweet build love all the ICE nostalgia and retro pieces nice job guys
You guys built one of my dream car projects.
Looks like the drugs are wearing off.🤪
Love how he took off northbound on the old historical US 101/California Highway 21.
What are some specs. Total kW, Range, Weight of converted vehicle, fun per mile?

Dream car, and a beautiful build.
Beautiful car and the funniest presentation!
Man that's a sweet car! If Jim Carrey and Robin Williams had a son who drank too much coffee it would be him.
Shelby Cobra GT conversion awaited.
SPYDER 550
Very nice Porsche there guys! Do a Lambo Countach S...lol,i seem to remember them in a kit form way back in the 80's :)

I want to see more big American iron from the 50s and 60s being converted. Perhaps a 60s Thunderbird!!!! Also, I don't mind the mad scientist.

How much did it cost to convert it
Not including the replica rolling body ?
Ponto Beach, you passed my house!, Seriously you should do an e46 Convertible, I have one you can try on, I can bring it by anytime :)

Well it looks far better than most ECars
Any replica cabriolets anywhere? Specialty Automotive in Tennessee has them but they’re mid-engine two seaters and I want a 2+2.
I would really like to see a 66' Corvair - stock color from 62' lacquer metalic burgundy red. Convertible.
I will have one of these in about six to eight months. Hopefully, before Christmas!
He looks like the guy from back to the future
Cooles EV Auto,
Nur die Person wo den ganzen Umbau erklärt ist bisschen zu witzig ( Zirkus wäre der richtige Platz )...
Ist nur meine Meinung.
It would be really cool if someone would convince Morgan to open source the Ev3 designs for the rest of us to try to turn that into a kit.
I'd love to see a F100 pickup 68-72
I would really like to see a kawasaki ultra 300 conversion that would be epic.
Very nicely done 👍👍
I'd love to see a Dodge charger conversion new or old model .
I'd really like to see a chocolate coloured upholstery on that. Any kind of light brown or tan looks a bit wrong to me
That Old Guy with the White Hair, has NEVER done Drugs once, a day in his Life.
love that bike giving him a look lmao
I wish you guys made more videos. too busy making them sick builds.
yea we will be working on new YT content in the near future. For now you can follow us on Insta and FB
@@EVWest Ah is that where your hiding the good vids. okay I'll check it out. I just thought you guys got too busy on work to handle the YT channel.
Have you done a Triumph 1500 conversion?

Spicer is what happens when you DON'T just say 'no', kids! Convert a Koenigsegg.
Got mine from JPS just a week ago. A bit funky to drive it.
Can you try converting a 1977 Mercedes Benz 450 SLE to electric. Its one of my favorite cars
I want to see a Toyota Corolla to EV 😅😂
This guy is tweakin
Awesome, I would like to see a a 2000. BMW 323 CI, 1993 NISSAN 240 SX COUPE, AND A 1988 BMW IC ELECTRIFIED. Oh yeah also 1997 CHEVY CHEYENNE TRUCK.
1929 Mercedes Benz gazelle / pinto?
Fantástico conversión. Mucho nice. I'd like to see a Citroën Mehari orange if possible.
Spicy.
Obnoxious host. I’m sure the build is great, real hard to stomach the full 7 minute vid to find out though.
Great video guys!
Not a kit car but how about converting VW Crafter Camper Van the Diesel engines are terrible
Is there something wrong with this chap
Datsun 620 please. If you need a loaner let me know 🙂

Cool.....the doner was just a VERY slow, noisy kit-car but P-Fanboys gonna be upset anyway. That's the perfect conversion. Nice
Y'all would do well to keep this guy away from the camera
OMG I WANT ONE HOW MUCH TOTAL/
Owner type jeep from Philippines.
Batmobile kit car. Double pts if there's an onboard jet turbine
That’s cool af however you need to drink less redbull

Fabulous car. Almost unwatchable though with the bizarre antics.
Cool car, great job. Annoying AF dude.

This man is soo funny !

Since you have Tesla batteries why can’t you install a Tesla charge port?
They could, but tesla won't allow it to use superchargers. The vehicle wouldn't have the proper communication protocols.
@@4literv6 Elon is allowing some other manufacturer to use the Superchargers, but I haven’t heard which. What was the range on the Speedster?

Lotus esprit srs 3
Beautiful but what was once an almost impractical weekender is now just impractical. You need to find a way to put the batteries in the floor
Convert a C type jag!

Convert a BMW Z4 to EV.
Please get rid of this guy
