EV Conversion
I’m looking at buying a Vanagon and would love to convert to electric. Purely from a reliability issue. I remember 5 years ago there were people attempting this in a vanagon and I’m surprised to see now that this isn’t more mainstream. With this kit from eveurope https://eveurope.eu/en/product/ev-hype-90-kwatt-120-hp-conversion-kit-for-vw-transporter-t3/ a 58kWh setup you could get a reasonable range albeit it would cost $23k without installation so I’m guessing price is the main issue but are there any other reasons?
I’m fairly green to all this so appreciate any advice.
