I have built and driven fast Minis for 40 years and and have a massive love of the A-Series and all that goes with it. My family say that I have petrol in my veins - but I must admit, that you have done something quite special here. In terms of performance you have certainly nailed it - and your kits will doubtless help more classic Minis to stay on the road - good for you.
Later Minis that are not yet tax exempt perhaps, as they are affected by the growing number of emission zones. But the prospect of rebuilding an A series every other decade sounds far more affordable than replacing batteries, which are used to start with. With the low amount of generally summer miles done by most remaining real Minis, I don't see the use benefit case.
I see your point, but my assumption (perhaps flawed) is that the typical person who builds or commissions an electric Mini (or an electric version of any classic) is a lot less worried about vfm than I would be. I love the A-series and never have much cash, so my choice is sadly an easy one.🙂
Creating kits, now you're talking! I watched you guys since the get go. Constantly impressed which Electric Classics. Excellent business ideas backed up by excellent technicians. To quote EEV "winner winner chicken dinner"!
Another great video and I'm really enjoying this series. The perfect level of tech and detail to get a look under the skirts but not enough to make it confusing.
It occurred to me when I was watching your conversion in a day video that you could make drop-in kits for popular conversations, and now you have! Would love to see a video of this being fitted
If the cables are pre crimped, not sure why this kit couldn’t be sold to the general public, I know I’d have no trouble installing one. Looks great regardless, I’d love one some day, I’m only 30 mins away too 😄
Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant. I would love to convert my dutch mini to electric on short notice to keep it on the road. Looking forward to more information regarding availability in the eu and eventual pricepoint. Damn, this is thought out well. Driving with the tesla small motor must be fun.
150 mile range? Not bad and I bet it feels like a rocket with all that power. A simple EV without all the useless junk they put in modern cars, the main car brands could learn a lot from you. Also I want one.
💯 2003 gas car key-FOB failed, so used physical key to go shopping (+ new key-FOB battery)… only to discover my new 12v battery was defective (0.27v). First thought, new fully electric (locks, no physical key) EV would I need a brick, bust window? 😀🤷🏻😀
@@gr8dvd The same with the handbrake, if you lost power and your accessory battery (12v) wasn't a 100% you would lose that safety net and if it fails when the car is parked you have to remove trim to use the back up release. All electronic toys are just more things to fail and the cheaper they make them the higher the chance they will let you down. End of the day there's nothing wrong with leaving some things machinal. I'll tell you my family has had cars with the electronic handbrake and the things have never worked right meaning the cars have always had to be left in gear to stop them rolling on hills, these were new cars as well.
@@gr8dvd I have an automatic but a classic car. I hate relaying on stuff that has a high chance to fail, machinal will always work even if you lose power.
I think you should also do a competency test for individuals who want to install it themselves. I'm not an EV installer but i'd love the kit and i'm more than qualified to install it. I'm in a country that probably wont have many installers. I also wouldn't trust the install of my special vehicle to someone else. A little bit of holistic understanding of the purchaser might lead to more satisfied sales.
Wow how good is this . Well done you for making this BIG BIG step forward .you have seen the future ,hope you sell thousands of this New idea . Hats off to you Sir .I always watch your vids in AWE 👍👍👍👍
Awesome thanks for the video. Now if you could make something like this for my 710 M Pinzgauer. I would be in heaven. Love your videos, still miss the show on Motortrend. Cheers for across the pond.
Love this! Would love to go for this type of swap down the road. The under seat battery box is genius. Cutting the boot floor out for a battery box that fits between the subframe could mean you keep boot space
@@ElectricClassicCarsHi Folks - nice work on the kit. I have a question: How much boot space does the rear pack consume? Is there any usable space left? Can you still slide a spare tire (maybe a compact spare) in on top of the pack? I think if I were to convert my '91 Cooper I would want to flatten out the boot floor by cutting out the basin for the spare tire and welding in a plate, but then put one of those external spare tire hangers under the boot floor in the middle of the subframe, and also convert the battery box so that it has a waterproof hatch on it so that the lithium 12V battery could be stowed away underneath to preserve boot space but still be accessible without having to remove the main pack. Anyway: how much boot space remains with your kit? And have you considered a lower voltage / lower hp motor and shorter "commuter/shopping" range setup that might omit the need for the rear pack altogether?
I found a photo that Richard emailed and the boot battery box height only gets to about halfway up the taillights, so you could still get a few groceries (or possibly a spate tire) in there while preserving the 4-seater-ness that so many other Mini EV conversions don't. Here's the photo: drive.google.com/file/d/1cnHjW86QQtIuxIaaG6wnj9uxWS74VLEI/view?usp=drivesdk That's really quite good!
I have 2003 Ford Focus SVT. Wish there was a easy bolt in EV conversion! Is there any electric motor transmission adapter for a Ford SVT six speed transmission! I was told the 6 speed is the same trany that the mini-cooper has. I’d like to adapt a electric motor to the trans, stick it in second gear and drive it. Add a controller, batteries and what ever else I would need and just drive it locally! Any conversions like that available?
I would love to see one of the kits for the gt turbo starlet or the 4 door starlet .... That would be awesome.... Also the Suzuki samurai and the Geo tracker
I’m really wanting to covert my Ford Fiesta ST 3 seeing that Ford isn’t going to be making any I think you guys could actually show them how it’s done ! Nice work love the show
Love the company and the whole idea of electric cars, but I have to be honest, I find the lack of candour about prices really irritating. Most people are not expecting them to be cheap, so why not just be up front about the cost? Moggy doesn’t know the cost of his company’s own kit? C’mon!!! Keep the vids coming though and let’s have more 1303 Beetle content. 👍
@@ElectricClassicCars It stops a change of direction ? Are you saying the steering stops working. I know they sound like Scaletrix but that is taking it too far.
my name is Fabricio I am from Costa Rica and I want to convert a Lexus LX450 to electric with a range of about 250 km, do you think it could be possible?
I would love a classic car electrified! I've had a Zoe and now run a Kia Soul ev and love it. But a classic with that kit? Wow, yes please, but my time is running out !
Have you guys looked at adding an ultra capacitor set-up to prolong the life of said batteries? Look up Skelton technologies based out of Germany, originally based out of Estonia of all places.
How do these go with compliance - either in the US, UK or other places like AU - as far as extra weight, suspension / springs, braking capacity, rollover and crash testing... do they require these things to be signed off by an engineer that the conversions are safe and secure to be on public roads?
I take it that the battery boxes do not have heating/cooling. I am a bit vague on battery thermal management but is it not needed with the relatively low power charger?
Mini is fun All that power through the front small wheels wizzzzzz Have you thought RWD one? For me, a mini RWD or AWD pick-up Mini. Original and FUN Mini small box, new Mini is a bloated big thing mini
Like nice! What is the cost of the kit? What would be the estimated hours for a shop to install? Be good to know the rough estimates for cost comparison of other options.
I was wondering, ever since I watched the Mini conversion on Vintage Voltage, why you couldn’t put a battery box in the centre of the rear subframe? Especially if you deleted the 12v battery box. I know that makes it a little less reversible but it’s easy enough to buy another battery box if you ever did want to reverse the conversion. Also, any plans to make a transfer box/final drive unit suitable for a motor like the NetGain HyPer 9, to fit Minis, 2CVs, Fiat 500s and Beetles? Similar idea to the box you made to fit front motor RWD installs. I know it’s more complicated but the weight, efficiency and space savings would be considerable. Carefully engineered, it may be possible to fit all the cars I listed, front and rear engined, therefore allowing the same main components to be used in numerous conversions? I realise gearing and direction of motor rotation will need to be considered but would love the idea if it’s economically feasible.
Do you need a 12v battery system, part of the 12v need was for the heater drive and the spark/coil. A couple of small 6v or motor cycle batteries would do for the lights and radio cassette player ?
Older minis don't have a brake servo, later variants possibly do but if batteries increase weight you'd likely want to upgrade brakes from drum to disc in any case.
Thats the custom resto shop i wanna do. Order in kits for electric conversion bolt-in. I have a p1800 that i wanna do that too and use s2000 rear suspension. The whole chassis is only about 2” off than the s2000.
Some cars like the Honda Jazz had an AWD version available in the home Japanese market. I wonder if it would be possible to make a really small low cost conversion to add about 75hp to the rear wheels that could be switched to either be used regeneratively around town with the engine off but retaining the engine to allow very long distances away from charge points, or as a combined power alternative to the K24 swaps that some people do? EDIT: I guess you would need the engine on at all times to power the standard assisted-steering and assisted-brakes without modification, but if the throttle pedal were adjusted to give inversely proportional amounts of electric regenerative effect for the first 2cm of depression and positive power after 2cm depression, and the petrol engine only gave power after 3cm depression, there would be great saving of stop/start wastage as well as doubling the available power for standing-start acceleration without much wheelspin.
Would be great to see a start to finish conversion using one of these kits.
Agreed.
On vintage voltage
This also gets my vote. Either straight up conversion or a mini with lots of engine parts missing, prime for an EV conversion.
see ua-cam.com/video/fKWe1R1bWOM/v-deo.html it's not identical though..
