Not having a coolant system for the batteries will be a problem. Check out a video by jerryrigeverything. He's building a ev hummer and went over the battery coolant system in one of his videos
I am so happy you have introduced us to this guy. His content is exactly the kind of awesomely unique kind of stuff UA-cam was built for. Thank you! I would LOVE to buy a gwiz with a Tesla pack installed for a fun runabout town. My health is just too poor for me to make my own. I’m so weak and skinny now that even that Tesla pack is more weight than me (and I’m 6ft 3).
This gives me faith in people, not only did Richard sort his own problem out he helped out Calvin and everyone who watched. This is the epitomy of YT. Calvin, your awesomeness brings in awesomeness :)
I did the same to a year 2000 Fiat 600 EV. Out with 700lb of lead acid and in with 250lb Li-ion. Now has 120 mi range and a 15kW charger. Beautiful practical EV with so much 90' vibe. Cant all drive around in futuristic 5000lb E-SUVs!
Calvin mate, over the last 3 years and all the cars you have owned. Never have we seen you put rubbers on for any car on video, but it had to happen on the little WIZ 😂😂
Sunday afternoon and another video from you Calvin puts a smile on my face and helps me look forward for the next week. Keep it up. Love the content as always ❤️❤️
Well done Richard 👏👏 great work putting some life back into the much loved G whizz 👍 can’t wait to see the first drive video and see how it also handles compared to before as well as the range etc . First video cracked me up with Calvin leaning on corners 😂😂
How are you planning on Lowering it? I took my brother to buy a GWIZ yesterday and we are keen to play with it! Perfect that you and CarThrottle have both got one at the same time
Really interesting vid. But literally spat my dinner out at 8.48 😁 Your face was a picture when Richard was talking tech to you. Looking forward to seeing the results.
Awesome video and excellent project, very much enjoy Calv presenting and interacting with the builder and build itself. Furthermore, I really like this EV explained clearly and enthusiasticly to me as a EV novice/noob/a car enthuasiast👍 Thank you very much gentlemen. Thinking a GW themed merch line by Calv is inbound for Spring😁
Acid bateries are evie yes but they run musch more time i have one acid baterie for 4 yers and still work very nice no lirium bateris you go have problems .
I think I’d have called it a WizLa Calv, also, please don’t crash it… a coroner once said a GWiz involved in a fatal smash disintegrated unlike any other vehicle he’d ever seen, and that was with those heavy blokes of batteries in there… :S Richard is a ledge though; what a guy!
Nice video! I'm looking forward to seeing how this one goes. However I'm not sure that changing the field mapping setting was a good idea... only time will tell.
Marv getting electrocuted is my Fave movie scene of all time, 32 years old and it still makes me laugh that much I have to rewind it and watch it again 😂
Hi Calvin 👋 Try and get hold of a Mk1 or Mk2 Suzuki Swift Sport. Something a bit different and a bit of a throwback to 80s hot hatches but with all the modern amenities. Not fast, but great fun! They have a really good reputation in the petrol head circles.
Great content man discovered this channel recently and watched a ton of videos already 👌 very interested in cars, maybe I’ll own my own car dealership one day who knows 🤞
Hey Calvin, how much did it cost you to update your battery pack to Tesla units, on your Reva? Maybe you have said it somewhere and I didn’t pay attention, but please forgive me and if so. 😊 regards Poul DK
Fantastic video Calvin 👏👏 Fantastic to see Will in the video 🙂 he was taking the piss but I reckon he was watching 👀 and taking everything in 🤔 I agree with Will upgrading the batteries...it will get you range But the old motor will not help 🤔 so blow it up 😂
Brilliant to watch, I haven’t seen anyone else do this sort of stuff yet!👊🏻 Defo got to put in a more powerful motor (or 2🤣) and see how far you can push it😂
Please convert a Kia morning/picanto to an ev.. There are bikes in the states called an energica and zero bikes that would make an ideal transplant with a conversion plate to a standard transmission and the whole powertrain would be contained on the bike.. IAA in the states have two energicas currently and they are wrecks..

It's people like Richard that restore my faith in humanity ✌️
He’s a lovely guy ain’t he very clever
This guy seems very humble down to earth type of guy
Absolute banger of a video. Love this build. Can't believe its lost 200kg thats madness.
Will cracked me up "just go 120" 🤣 roll on first drive video
Richard seems like the sweetest guy, cherish him
Calvin mate, over the last 3 years and all the cars you have owned. Never have we seen you put rubbers on for any car on video, but it had to happen on the little WIZ 😂😂
Calv, you should do colab with car throttle guys,they got g wizz too ;) would be fun to see comparison stock vs upgraded ;)
Sunday afternoon and another video from you Calvin puts a smile on my face and helps me look forward for the next week. Keep it up. Love the content as always ❤️❤️
Love this video well done Calvin and huge respect to Richard
Great video Calvin, very different from your usual content and I really enjoyed it! Looking forward to seeing where the G-Wiz project ends up.
When is the next video testing it ?
Will was like yep let's take it to its limit and definitely try and break it so we can make it even faster after 🤣
The home alone bit made me laugh 😂 my kids
This was so good!! Like an episode from top gear or something!!
Well done Richard 👏👏 great work putting some life back into the much loved G whizz 👍 can’t wait to see the first drive video and see how it also handles compared to before as well as the range etc . First video cracked me up with Calvin leaning on corners 😂😂
Richard,quite possibly the future of car re-mapping, another great video Calvin
How are you planning on Lowering it?

Really interesting vid. But literally spat my dinner out at 8.48 😁 Your face was a picture when Richard was talking tech to you. Looking forward to seeing the results.
Is it now a T-Wiz? Loving it, and the weight difference between the battery is just nuts.
Need to see more like this! Would be sweet to see how efficient you could make it with a newer gen motor!
Best video yet, better than nearly all of the bigger EV channels who have done battery swaps etc.!
Loved to see the m3 touring in the background need an update please Calvin 🤔 keep up the good work your smashing it 👍
Got to love Calvin acting like he has a scooby about how it works 🤣🤣👍🏻
Awesome video and excellent project, very much enjoy Calv presenting and interacting with the builder and build itself.
Furthermore, I really like this EV explained clearly and enthusiasticly to me as a EV novice/noob/a car enthuasiast👍
Thank you very much gentlemen. Thinking a GW themed merch line by Calv is inbound for Spring😁
@Calvin how could you pan past that legendary UR Quattro in the background so quickly!
Calvin how much were the used tesla batteries?
Car throttle have jumped on this GWiz wagon… you should meet up and do a drag race 😆
So cool, just shows how far things have come.
A few G wizs done on UA-cam this 1 was clearly done the best was expecting carthrottle to so something like this but bravo
Brilliant content/video again mate. Well done to Richard 👏👍
Acid bateries are evie yes but they run musch more time i have one acid baterie for 4 yers and still work very nice no lirium bateris you go have problems .
Well that was Completely Different from your usual content. Richard was a Electronic Master ⚡⚡. See you in the next one. 👍👍
Cool video and your M3 ESTATE is looking very cool in the back round 👍👍👍
Fantastic video, id love one of them to use as a runabout to go to my work van and back home
Great video Calvin 👍 you should have nicknamed it the Wizzla 😂
Really enjoyed watching this
Great video interesting! Can't wait to see the road test
Yes Richard 👏👏 Well done 👌 Top Man

Awesome video Cal.
Can't wait for the next one 👍👍
Marv getting electrocuted is my Fave movie scene of all time, 32 years old and it still makes me laugh that much I have to rewind it and watch it again 😂
I usually hate ev's, but looking forward to the next one on this.
Awesome 👏🏼 , the home alone clip 🤣🤣🤣🤣 well done Richard 👍🏼
Hi Calvin 👋
Try and get hold of a Mk1 or Mk2 Suzuki Swift Sport.
Something a bit different and a bit of a throwback to 80s hot hatches but with all the modern amenities. Not fast, but great fun!
They have a really good reputation in the petrol head circles.
Great video
Shout out Richard
Can't wait to see the G-wizz back on the roads think it should be your daily
Cost all in would be good to know ☺️
great video Calvin looking forward to the test drive 👍
Just subbed to Richard. Well deserved. 👍
Hey Calvin im guessing thats your e43 estate in the background 😉 looks great
Did you add any cooling?
amazing 🤘 wb some new and modern LED lights and seqvential indicators and all that jazz that is gonna make the car looks like a modern new car
I'm enjoying this Calvin. Something completely different 👍👌😀
Quality video mate 👌🏻
Brilliant content 👏 can't w8 to watch the next video 😀
Please get Led sealed beams with Halos for it, would Look much more modern!
*It might now have decent mileage well done Calvin great idea* 👀
Absolutely love the videos mate 🙏🙏
Richard the Geek-Wiz kid... Awesome content...
Cheeky glimpse of the E46 touring at 08:59
How much was the Tesla battery pack, and where did you get it? A friend and I are building an electric Reliant Kitten.
Something different on the channel. I like it.
What a kind bloke
Cool guy man, he’s living his life how he likes 🙌🏻
Nice job. Cheers from Fenders Junction, Colorado. USA.
Yes yes loves this video. Some thing different keep it up guys 👍👍
Great content man discovered this channel recently and watched a ton of videos already 👌 very interested in cars, maybe I’ll own my own car dealership one day who knows 🤞

Quality content my man.
Really enjoyed this video!
Spotted a few interesting cars in the background of the video. M3 estate update coming soon??
They are Tesla batteries but I believe from a Smart or more likely a Mercedes B-class, when Tesla was supplying batteries for them.
Excellent video
What BMS are you using please?
Really enjoyed this video, something a bit different 😎😎
Are you doing a car show this year Calvin?
The PeaWhiz on rocket fuel!! Well done, coming together well now. Good video.
Brilliant to watch, I haven’t seen anyone else do this sort of stuff yet!👊🏻 Defo got to put in a more powerful motor (or 2🤣) and see how far you can push it😂
Please convert a Kia morning/picanto to an ev..
There are bikes in the states called an energica and zero bikes that would make an ideal transplant with a conversion plate to a standard transmission and the whole powertrain would be contained on the bike..
IAA in the states have two energicas currently and they are wrecks..
I'm sure there was one of these with a fork lift battery and more power
Calvin brilliant 👍
That swap was amazing 😂 i? Wondering is there a way you could put a bigger motor in it?
Never thought I would watch a g wizz video but Calvin twisted my arm when mentioning Tesla
Brilliant!
This project is so 😎
Looking forward to the test drive 😂
Calvin, have a look at Carthrottle they are basically copying your g wizz series
Will was just thinking “where’s the ignition timing and fueiling tables” 🤣👍🏻
Watching Calvin learn about the new batteries and electronics was like when Ali G tried to become a politician.
He ended up being priminister. 😏
🤣
Hi guys can I put a tester battery into a 07 automatic saab?
Freaky I was just watching Richards bids yesterday
Should collab with carthrotlte they have just started a gwiz project 🔥🔥
respect Richard
The world needs characters like Richard.....
Did every one see M3 touring and the old golf r 👀👀👀👀👀😜
