Conversion kit, conversion kit, conversion kit!

I have been dreaming of a moment where that is a thing. I know electric GT has some options, but I would be willing to go in on one at the $10k-ish range, not $30-40k. Make it comparable to swapping and engine in cost (or even 1.5-2x based on the fuel savings) and I would be on board.

Thanks for posting this article! My wife is quite interested in the opportunity to turn a LC into an EV.

I have seen this. It is on my bucket list.

The website: MEKANIX CUSTOM WORKS

The 70's are really unique and when I can put the $ down I am getting one. I'd love nothing more than to have the EV conversion. What a blast!

Thanks!!

There is a pdf brochure on this one with a TON of spec, but no top speed/cruising speed listed. THey show a digital screen/gauge with a top of 90 (mph?) .

Thanks for posting this link.

Next question is do they take on work from non-industrial/bulk clientele, or retro-fits on non-new vehicles.

The torque specs don't seem that impressive either unless I am looking specs wrong.

Power (max / cont.) 90 / 60 kW
Torque (max / cont.) 200 / 90 Nm

From article (Zero70):

"Tim explained that the most popular choice – 88kWh battery, dual-cab configuration, carpet trim and alloy wheels – is priced close to $200,000. He added that farmers, in particular, are showing strong interest in the vehicle, especially those with solar-charging facilities."

Thats what I saw as well, considering its designed for mining/ off-road use and frequent charging on-site, its surely not focused on top-speed and/or distance ( I think is saw ~350kms) per charge.

Those ones show a 45kmh speedo, with Negative speed on it! Cave crawlers.

You reckon these still have wet discs on them with all that battery braking?
