We convert vehicles to electric power. We focus on older vehicles and reusing components bound for scrap yards.

Why go through the trouble?
Lower center of gravity = better handling.
Full use of the truck bed again.
Cleaner, more "OEM-plus" install.

We’re looking at 2-box solution instead of 3. The catch? It requires relocating the driver’s side rear shock from the front to rear of the axle🛠️
We won’t which wins until we open the original Leaf+ pack to get accurate module dimensions. Until then, we’re modeling two layouts and two HV disconnects

We support this idea! We think you should look further into it. fuel2electric.com is a good source to get started for info, parts, and builders. The EV conversion ecosystem is growing! We buy parts from Brat Industries for our Leaf-based conversions. Their Brat conversion is very similar!

Great idea! We have a potential customer who only wants Tesla parts. It would be great to get his vehicle on a lift and hold this to get mounts fabricated!

EV West now has a subframe for a pretty clean 914 conversion. And yes, some Tesla parts, but at least you're not buying new! Our first conversion (aka learning project) was a 1999 Miata. We prefer Nissan Leaf components over Tesla or new and they have plenty of power for those size cars!

We believe there are now kits for Ford E350s, but that's without research. With money, there are new electric Transits from Ford. We think an EV conversion might work for you at half the cost, and you keep your current van! You should definitely look for a local shop or even DIY
