In the process of restoring and EV converting a 1964 Scout 80. Today was a major milestone where I lifted the HV battery pack into position:
Drivetrain is from a AWD Lexus Hybrid, similar technology to the Jeep 4XE drivetrain, except I have repurposed the generator as an extra motor within the transmission. Power steering is electric from a Hyundai Sonata, brake are electric power brakes from a Chevrolet Volt. Charging and DC DC converter is a combo unit from a Mitsubishi Outlander. Axles are from a Jeep YJ. All is controlled from an open-source STM32 based VCU customizable for DIY EV conversions. I have the drivetrain running, & charging is working.
Who will have their Scout EV on the road first?
Body panels are off at the sand-blasters, lots of cosmetic stuff left to do.
