How Much did My EV Humvee Conversion *actually* Cost?!
Рет қаралды 756,608
4 ай бұрынAfter two and a half years we can finally figure out how much the EV Humvee Project costs. Get a 4-week trial, free postage, and a digital scale at www.stamps.com/jerryrig. Thanks to Stamps.com for sponsoring the show! The Electric Hummer project has been a MASSIVE undertaking. Using Tesla battery modules and building my own electric vehicle has been an awesome learning experience. And it just looks really cool.

People who make affordable DIY builds do a lot of cost savings left and right, instead of using CNC services they use angle grinder and a lot of filing, instead of buying almost top of the line lithium cells from tesla they use batteries from nissan leaf, instead of brand new motor and inverter they buy 5th hand used stuff, instead of using a massive military truck they build vw golf or some audi.

True, though your time is also a factor. If there’s a part that takes you six weeks to fabricate yourself vs six days to get machined, it may be worth it in your time and keeping project momentum to pay more to get the part faster.

@@Steamrick Labor is a moot point. The price is simply how much it was for him. There is no one general price for basically any of it. Prices will differ drastically from person to person, not only because of preference but because of time! There is quite a bit more available now overall than when he did his build (at least when he purchased the major components). The used market is increasing more and more each day as well as more and more options for controllers, BMS's and chargers and more and more manufacturers and the aftermarket is increasing at a fast rate! Not to mention more knowledge is available as well! There is a reason the title of the video says "my", he did say DIY Humvee prior which is much more fitting because if you're having a shop build it then it's not a DIY!
