Hello, I am writing you from Japan. From what I have seen you are the master.Works of Art and Electrical and Mechanical Engineering. I also remember my days, in New Bern, and Jacksonville. NC is a great place to live. I will subscribe and continue to watch your videos. I am now 60 yrs old but I appreciate seeing that there are people still in this world that spend their time teaching well worth lessons.
Bringing classic cars into the future like this is amazing. Good work.
that's a good analogy "bringing classic cars into the future".
Would love to see more of these detailed conversion videos. I binged watched all the ones for the Merc. Keep 'em coming'!
What a stunner- that front end is gorgeous.
Thats a very beautiful car! Very few have a roof line like that...
beautiful car mate,
utter AWESOMENESS!!! i prefer the electric. well done mate.
whaoo .. thx for sharring your experience ...jolie mercedes ....
Just at the end a couple of questions:
1. what are the vacuum pumps for?
2. how did you handle the recharging of the 12 V battery?
3. how did you handle car heating (and cooling if you did it)?
4. how did you handle amplification for stearing and breaks (if you did it)?
If you watch the video series all of your questions will be answered.
Awesome! Can you please share what to expect for a price range for a conversion? I am thinking to convert my 1988 Merkur Scorpio.
Dam it looks great sitting out side like that.
Awesome work guys, very cool!!!
Just waiting for the day I will be the first to drive an EV in Sierra Leone
beautiful
@1:28 that's Philippines' owner type Jeep. Or we called it FPJ jeep after the Filipino actor, the late Fernando Poe Jr. (hence FPJ) used this vehicle in most of his movies.
They are converting that to electric?
Hi from the UK. I want to convert my 1963 220seb saloon / sedan (very similar running gear to the SL). Restoring the body first and sorting what I need to keep and what I can dispose of. How does the cab heating work when you convert to an EV? Of course at the moment it is through the heater matrix on water. The mercs have his and hers controls on each side too. Please can somebody explain? Also on the SL, what gear box and rear axle did it end up with? I know it had the V8 in it before the conversion . Real nice conversion and love the way you take your time to explain the details, can`t wait to do the fintail.
As far as the heating is concerned, check out this video.

In regards to the transmission and differential, we used what was in the vehicle and I do not know the ratios.
Thanks for watching.
it would be so cool to see old fuel guzzlers like Cadillacs converted to electric.
How much final price conversion,excellent job,best regard Joms
$30,000+
As with this car and any other conversion, how do you address the HVAC?
Check out this video.

Im wondering are the torque figures stated at the rear wheel? Thanks
Motor specs.
Cool
Very nice, so is it 30 or 50 kw battery pack?
This one was 28.5 kWh. Thank you for watching. Would appreciate it if you would subscribe.
Hello,
What is the range?
How much would it be just for a 2010 Hyundai accent for it to be converted to electric
Please address all questions or comments to: info@EV4Unow.com
Thanks for watching.
First I appreciate the level of expertise in the execution of this conversion. Unfortunately the before and after evaluation is biased. They report the before power with the original 2.3 OEM 6 cylinder engine but report the before weight with a 5.0 Ford V8 conversion engine. Bad reporting does not reflect well on EV4U.
We wanted to make the comparison between the stock 230SL and not the highly modified version we received. The 5.0 Ford was modified and we do not have the specs. on it. The bias is true, and we made it no secret. The owner (not the one that installed the Ford engine) did not like the way the car drove with the V8. I agreed, it was fun for a short while, but way too radical for an enjoyable daily driver. To each his on.
Did I miss something? What is the general range when it is fully charged? You say you drove "hundreds" of miles. So you must have some idea. Is there a problem with sharing that simple info? It makes the video sound like a "hide the ball" teaser.
It looks like this sort of conversion would really work very well on a Mercedes W108.
The general range was eighty miles on this vehicle back in 2017. I do not recommend the motor used in this conversion for the W108 due to the weight. Please direct questions to info@EV4Unow.com Thank you for watching.
How much did this conversion cost in total?
Please address your questions to: info@EV4Unow.com
What is the range on the Mercedes?
Approximately seventy miles.
Sure why you dont put alternator in it.
Check out this video for the reason.
