Actually, more waste will go into the environment if we spend time, effort and resources to produce those batteries. the process of which has not won any awards yet with biologists. So here it is. A perfectly fine car. Sure, the mileage isn't perfect, but that really is the only thing you can say about it. You're not saving the planet by swapping in a battery. You're increasing the problem. Instead of buying a new car or retrofitting an old one, which basically is the same as buying a new car in terms of what needs to be produced, you could also just drive your existing car. But no, instead of making sense, we're going to woo the public with some CO2 bullshit, make them trade in their cars and help the autmotive branch a big deal with these more expensive alternatives. Sure, you have a "punchy throttle" but I dare you right here and now, you take that battery leadsled of yours and I'll take a standard 356. We're both going to stop as fast as we can. Now, ofcourse we both know who is going to win this, so thats not the challenge here. The question is how many multitudes shorter my stopping distance is. Oh, and for shits and giggles, we should do the Elk-test too. Not to prove what is better, because everybody knows. It's all about how many multitudes it is better. And here you are, applauding the devolution of the automotive products. Not only that, you actually perceive this as evolution, despite all the physics in the world proving otherwise. And all that because you were told a fairytale about CO2. Anybody who takes 5 minutes time to look shit up themselves will find out that every week, many scientific peer reviewed papers come out proving the exact opposite. Now, if you'll excuse me, i need to tweek at my 2.5kg bottle of CO2 hooked up to my aquarium. 3x growth rate just isn't enough. Maybe we can hit 4x if I dial it up just that little more.... What do you think?

@@MichaelOZimmermannJCDECS Has it ever occurred to you that _YOU_ are the one that needs to be educated? Do you have any idea of the number of scientific papers that show all kinds of factors that we are only recently finding out that were never even factored into their AGW bullshit train? Judging by the name you have given yourself, I doubt you will be modest enough to admit that you might not know anything, but I had to try.

@@Flyingdutchy33 Even though I am NOT a native English speaker I detected, that you are mixing up the words ANYTHING and EVERYTHING! Indeed there are lots of papers... I am guessing you have read them all ;-)... I haven't :D. I am educated, and still learn every god damned day! And NO, I am not claiming to know "everything" (like your president). You are trying to justify your comment. Do substantiate them with facts, not claims! There are always pro's and con's to nearly everything! I always try to apply "First Principles Thinking", you should try that as well. Thank you.

Amazing episode. Very well put together. You can be proud of yourself!!!!

#ASCAS i dont want job But want to start same business of converting bike into electric in India.

DO it, don't just talk about it.

TechBuilder technical exercise you need! Just get some old car!

Hey I just posted this, this may help: If anyone is interested in learning about Electric Vehicle Technology even further, which complements the excellent production and visibility made from this video by EV West, please certify with TUDelftX: online-learning.tudelft.nl/courses/electric-cars-technology/ It's a great resource that really introduces electric vehicle technology and has a forum of global students online! It always looks good to have an extra certificate as well which may not assure engineering standards but definitely a great preparation for! :) Being a part of Electric Vehicle Engineering is definitely revolutionary work that helps combat global warming and biodiversity loss. Hopefully there can be a union of this type of work like how there was a global one for electricity in the 40s and 50s and hopefully all mechanical EV Engineers can get a great pension! :) I too want to do this work out of passion as well as taking my science education to the next level and inspiring that women can do this work as well! :)! The more hands, the more collaboration, the better. There are a whole lot of cars on the road that need conversion!

VW not Porsche.

me too

Me! Gas only!!!!

Bollocks did you watch the video? it was cutting to the next shot every few seconds most of the time, how in anyones mind can that be good editing, unless your attention span is even shorter than that.

Watch top gun gas version

Yes .. but not every classic cars suits electrification .. but .. Fiero .. Miata or MR2 .. (with dead petrol engines) seems to be perfect ...

This is top g I nn car rhogh

D Main a friend showed me his Triumph Herald, stuck in a garage. I immediately got ideas.

Probably in the ballpark of 50-60k.

100% agree

Depends on how full the gas tank would be I would guess.

Basically it's heavier than the original car. They have put 3 battery packs in front of the car, means it is about 25kg heavier on the front axis. Also on the rear axis it's a bit heavier due to the many electric components which sum up.

I'm really afraid this is one of those "if you have to ask, you can't afford it" situations

@@monteharrison1478 I'm not so sure about that. I have a VW I want to convert to electric and I may not have the full amount of cash on hand but with my excellent credit I'm pretty sure I could finance a project like this. I would not be interested in financing a $40,000 electric conversion but maybe up to $30,000. If it is in my price range I just have no idea what this stuff cost but does it not mean I am not capable of coming up with the dough.

I am sure it is a bit more (not much more) than a complete engine restoration of an original engine. However you would have so much less maintenance going forward.

@Johnny EricssonNo idea, but you should contact EVWest.

After the batteries, motor, charger, BMS, and hardware, I have spent about $15k (same tesla batteries they are using). The vehicle also cost $5k on top of that.

@@ryanfoss6243 Is this correct? $5k for the car without engine, and $15k for all electrical but not including labor?

@@Luminaring yes.
