Combustion engine to Elecric Engine swap

Lothar Manager Ecuador Posted   Latest  

HI, I am new to this forum so forgive me if I make some mistakes with the post. I have a workshop in Ecuador, specialized in German Cars. I am very interested if someone has had some experience in swapping combustion engines into electric engines. I think this is going to be a good business for the near future and would like to see if I could become some information and support from this forum. Thanks in advance for your comments.

Hello Lothar: There is a website called EV West. They appear to sell parts and kit to convert some vehicles. A friend just put me onto them so I've only started looking myself. Seems to be some neat stuff there. Here's the link: evwest​.​com/catalog/index… Ward

Hi Lothar. Circa 2010, a local company to our institute Azure Dynamics converted Ford Transit Connect vans to electric power. They donated the European specification diesel engines and transaxles that they removed, to the institute at that time. Searching the company, it now appears that unfortunately they filed for bankruptcy. en​.​wikipedia​.​org/wiki/Azure_Tra…
