      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 😂😂

    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!

  • @johnschofield3586

    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.

    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..
