Companies that convert vehicles to electric
Gents,
I’d like to convert my 1948 International Harvester to 100% electric. Does anyone know of any fantastic shops that specialize in this? https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...323907781.jpeg |
Been looking at EV West for a 911 conversion. Not local, but experienced.

You've got $100K burning a hole in your pocket?

I know someone that had this done to the vehicle from the 1930s a few years ago it was approximately $25,000. |
You can buy everything you need for a Tesla conversion; p85D motor and batteries good for 125 mile (200 km) range for a 911 for around $25k USD in a bolt in kit. Add some interesting DIY labour, incidentals and offset with sale of some ICE components and $40K is possible in my plan. You'd drop $20K on an ICE rebuild without the performance.

Check out the "Electric 911" in the August Panorama. Cost $78,000 US to convert a '79 SC a decade ago and the original (terribly low) 120 mile range has dwindled to 50 necessitating a $20,000 battery replacement. What was he thinking? Guess he wasn't.

LOL I'd go propane, about $2,500 to convert and 54 cents per liter to fill up.

Battery tech is obviously rapidly improving, it hasnt the benefit of decades of development that ICE has. Early adopter fee but today's are much better than a decades ago. My brother's Leaf is going on 6 years with near enough 85% batteryhealth. It's coming. |
Yup, the end of the ICE is coming. If we live long enough, we will see it.

Hey Ronnie, any plan to convert your TT? You might gain some needed torque!

Yup, it's been coming since 1903.

Here are a few companies that can do it in Canada, the cost of batteries is the biggest issue.
