If you are willing to do everything yourself, make your own battery box, motor mounts, gearbox adapter etc, and use all salvage parts (buy a donor EV), you can do it for about £5k - 10k maybe. If you pay someone to do it, using new parts, depending on what size battery and motor you want and charging options, between £30k and £80k ish. It's possible to get something on the road with a small battery (think round-town range) for not much over a grand if you use bits of junk like an old fork lift motor, recycled wiring, scrap metal, heavily used batteries etc. As for fuel cells, don't believe the hype.
One thing they don’t talk about with the conversions is the weight, all those battery’s must take it over the weight limit.
that fella has got far too much money!. here you go a few companies enjoy. https://ev-customs.com/ https://evwest.com/catalog/ https://edubconversions.co.uk/vw-camper-van https://www.zelectricmotors.com/
are you sure that includes a battery, that seems ridiculously cheap from what ive seen,t he battery price is usually additional and theyre 2nd hand , from what i can see £25-40K is more like it
To be fair, it was a while ago, so maybe I’m misremembering, but I thought it included a small rubbish battery.
Tesla batteries at £1200. Don’t know how many would be needed to pull a bus along though! https://www.electricclassiccars.co.uk/batteries/tesla-model-s-battery-module
Seems a good little project if we were talking about a transplant from a accident damaged electric vehicle, but I’m wondering whether any of us could offset the carbon footprint of installing a newly made electric motor and batteries in a vehicle that barely does 3000 miles a year. Would it have to become our daily. Does the fact we hardly use them make them more environmentally friendly anyway?
I think somebody did a conversion and wrote it up in Volksworld C&B and they had 12 Tesla battery modules in their hotel shuttle bus, so around £25k for maybe 150 miles range. Its a dismally large amount of money and non-recyclable crap for a completely non-stellar performance. If you want an EV go and buy an EV. (now lets talk about replacing the alternator with a 10kW motor-generator, upgrade to a 1915 engine and fit somewhat fewer battery packs , and beef up the fan belt , now we're talking , for a series self-charging hybrid. Torque boosts when you need it.. )
He does. He knows a lot about our vans, He gave me this, says “It may come in handy”. There’s parts in there that I have never seen.
If you want to weld as well as this guy, watch a couple of YouTube videos and away you go. I found the only way to match his weld quality was not turning my gas bottle on!!!
Couldnt give you a price, but i bought an engine and gearbox of a lad in Knaresborough , wjho had imported a van to electrify it, the first one in his new buisness , sorry no contact details etc, but if he suceeded then i am sure an internet search may discover him.!!!
