EV4U, You've got the best comprehensive videos on general EV conversion knowledge that I've seen so far. Keep it up!
Great channel! I subscribed and am looking forward to this series, as well as watching your other videos. I'm fairly new to EV and can't afford to actually do one yet. However, I'm on the learning quest so that when the day comes, I can sit down with more realistic expectations and a good idea what to do to realize them.
Absolutely great video. Very informative. Thanks :)
Thanks so much. I very much appreciate your real life power to weight formula for calculating pack size. That's obviously something you can only establish after building/driving lots of EVs. Thanks again:)
Very informative, can't wait to start converting my 1983 Mercedes 300D!
Thanks for the great video
Thank you for your video.
Great. Thank you.
great video, very informative, and well explained. I have noticed you have not included the motor-rated capacity in calculating the range, does it not matter?
Superb.
What you need to do a conversion and balance a system MONEY!
It's great to find a real discussion on ev's. So much of what I've found centers on useless information and no math. Next I have to figure out how to get a mazda b series pickup under 2000lbs. I have a cutting wheel and an engine crane...do I need to diet too?
Thank you for watching and commenting. Thank you too for being a subscriber.
Nice video! Thank you for sharing! Quick question:
what happens if I have a series of 43 batteries with 3.3 V and 100 amp and one battery with 3.3V and 180? What if I connect the later one as a parallel? Is that even possible without harming the batteries? What would the Wh be?
DO NOT mix cell capacities.
Thanks for watching.
Hi Richard
I am Richards Samson from India.
Good explanation! But I have question, is these types of battery power calculation is suitable for all types of motors that are available in evwest and other ev motor manufacturers?
Another question is: on which parameters the battery pack capacity depends? Weight, type of li-ion cell used, motor, transmission.
Please answer my questions.
Once again thank you very much for your for educating us
The simple answer is yes.
Hello, great videos! can I ask you whcih electric engine is the best for a 1981 VW beetle? also, do you sell any kit to sell overseas. I am from Chile.
Please direct your questions to: info@EV4Unow.com
Thank you.
sir, what is the basic phyiscs law for divide by 10 to vehicle weight? could you able to mention?
Check the following video.

How many volts is a good amount for a medium size/weight EV?
Depends on your choice of motor and controller.
HPEVS has a good setup in the 130 volt to 170 volt range.
Thanks for watching.
I am looking for a full kit, incl electric motor/batery package, .are you able to help me
Yes, email info@EV4Unow.com
What is the benefit of using a 145v system over a lower voltage system?
On a DC conversion it would equate to a higher top speed. Typically the pack voltage is determined by things like, space available for batteries, payload capacity of the vehicle, etc. The higher the voltage and the greater the individual cell size (Ah) (of a series string) the greater the pack capacity (kWh).
hello EV4U.. How do you compute the useable watt hours??
Usable watt-hours will be equal to 80% of the total watt-hours.
Total watt-hours is calculated by taking the pack voltage and multiplying by the amp-hour rating of the cells.
Check out our videos on Calculating Range for more information.
thanks a lot for the info..
Do you have these calculations for a boat?
No we do not.
can we use an alternator with the engine sir?
Check out this video for the answer.

I want detail trainings please advice want to open conversion workshop in India

Is there any formula of voltage weight ratio...........
Not that I am aware of.
When the car is running, can the batteries be charged?
Not with the on-board charger. It does have regenerative braking.
I’m going to have to loose some weight 🤣
Why vehicle weight divided by 10, why 10? Thank you.

@@ev4u thank you so much, I have watched! Really you are doing great job! Thank you.
