A transmission, especially a manual will greatly increase the efficiency of a motor. And using the transmission reverse gets rid of a bunch of electronics and greatly increases electrical safety by not switching polarity on the motor. And you should still use the clutch so you dont mess up the transmission.

Thanks for the info! Can't wait to convert my classic to electric!!

I love what you guys and gals are doing. I have a 94 GT mustang that would love to go electric! We need custom electric cars here in the Maritimes! CANADIAN SUPERMAN APPROVES

RIP headphone users 5:34 🙉

it’s a question of having a gearbox that will last! If your going from a big diesel and have a small electric motor then you might be ok. The torque from an Electric motor can spell death to them. Porsche do have just a 2 speed transmission on their EV. Most have just opted for a single speed and if you want 4WD then just have 2 motors. Installation wise it’s nicer, no transmission in the middle of the vehicle or props. Room for the battery that what way and superior handling from keeping the masses with the wheelbase and you can get 50/50 distribution. In the end it’s all a compromise. Take care M.

You deserve more subscribers Your project is ready impressive. And you also you need fix the audio But nice work

The should help with towing with a ev. Especially going up and down the mountains. It would save on the battery.

You can add transmission to any electric motor like in a robot or EV and it will make it even better in terms of torque speed curve but because of weight they don't. I have two Teslas no oil change for last 6 years no gearbox ! But certain applications like helicopters you really need a gear box so to make it direct drive like cars you need very special new kind of motors that I'm developing.

I used to run a direct drive input shaft on a power glide in my dirt race car, worked great. TCI #TC-745000

Hello sir .. please do you need a clutch when connecting the motor to the transmission or not ?

Clutch doesn't help protect the gears when switching at high wheel speed?

I eventually want to convert my c-10 to an ev, but I still want a manual transmission.

Can you use an automatic transaxle in a conversion to electric motor.

For EVs, there is a 2speed power glide that has an electric pump on it, for the EVs

Sorry buddy but 2 strokes will run backwards if the timing is off Old military boats also were designed to be run in reverse

Why did it seem like your math makes your wheel circumference equal 1ft

How about a 2004 Ford excursion 4*4 diesel, go electric?

We went forward by going back. Instead of changing the ICE engine with an electric and keeping everything else the same we went direct drive with high inefficiency on the motorway. But the same way a camera manufacturer has the technology for 100MP sensor but they will not sell it before everything else is sold the same applies here.... dumb marketing and profit cuts in the way of technology. Again.

EV absolutly needs a transmission. Transmission can help to extend the range of EV by reduce the rpm of motor.

1000 RPM at 60mph? Wow.That's just barely above idle at hwy speed. They should get great gas mileage

short answer no they dont need a trans, you can bolt the motor to the wheels or use inwheel motors

I really don't mean to be a pain here... But could we please try to be correct in our use of the words "engine" and "motor"?

Change the oil in your truck!!!

ok at 34 seconds in this guy just proved hes full of crap. A gasoline engine doesnt "always run at about 7 or 800 rpm. thats idle for a v8 and 4 cylinders can idle at 800-1000. Typical cruis speeds on a v engine is about 1200 with red line in the 5-6000 range. 4 cyl cruise at 2000-2500 rpm and redline in the 6-7000 range. and to all the EV cult members, yes ive been a mechanic for 40 years.
