So for those of you intimidated by doing an Electric Conversion, it only takes these
Six Major Components, and I will show you the parallels to gasoline powered cars where applicable.
1. Motor vs Engine
2. Inverter
3. Controller vs ECM/ECU/PCM
4. Battery Pack
5. Hall Effect Throttle Pedal vs Drive by Wire Throttle Pedal
6. Battery Charger
Using a rear wheel drive classic car or truck as an example:
We still keep the radiator as majority of those components tend to be liquid cooled (motor, inverter, controller, some battery packs, and some chargers)
We also keep the transmission (in my case I have a Unicorn, the motor lives inside the transmission, technically there's two electric motors inside of that bad boy)
We keep the driveshaft
We keep the power steering but will drive it with an electric pump
We keep the vacuum brake booster but will use an electric vacuum pump
We even keep the 12 volt car battery, yup an electric car still needs a regular dime a dozen car battery, all 12 volt electronics, lights, windshield wipers, stay the same
Heater can be replaced by an electric element
AC in my case is NA I don't need no stinkin' AC (till I do in the summer time, ha ha)
Everything else get's deICEd
ICE =
Internal
Combustion
Engine
