There just needs to be an easy way to spread out the batteries so you can balance them throughout the car to get as close to 50/50 weight distribution as possible.

As it stands where the battery is situated, it's more likely to shear off the bed or stay in place but give enough space to anyone in the cab to hopefully get out in a roll over crash with the cage they have welded in. Of what I see in most cars, they spread the battery pack along the wheel wells or shove it under/behind the seats. The high mileage cars aside from having a high density battery cells keep the batteries stacked along the bottom of the car with multiple layers of fire retardant insulation etc. I don't doubt that fire departments have started some suppression training measures for EV fires but it is pretty much a new game so far as fire fighting goes because we just don't have enough accidents to study for the best ways to power down/put out a battery fire yet. For reference on average there have been approximately 213,000 car fires per year. If anything, it actually means safety systems are under utilized in ICE cars AND EV's and as of yet there is no ready accessible way other than fire retardant or extinguishers to prevent/manage them.

I remember just 5 years ago trying to look into these heavier EV conversions and would rarely ever see stuff like this. It would always be the smaller compact (and rarely even anything cool like a 70’s Honda) cars that I’d see get converted. Even though I’m trying to be less car-reliant, I love seeing this become more and more of an option, especially for out-of-town trips or even rural areas where public transport besides maybe Amtrak can be genuinely hard to accomplish, even with the best planning/funding/whatever.

@@Skylancer727 True, though it’s not like bigger cars/trucks don’t have that issue. It would usually be something small that’d get the treatment. Something like an 80’s Lincoln Town Car or a 50’s Caddy were just unicorns in regards to EV conversions. One of the few guides out there at the time even specifically said to use a car that was: - Manual - Less than 2,000 lbs. - Wasn’t totally new (usually pre-2000’s). Basically, it had to be a Beetle or an 80’s Civic for optimal effect. It’s also ignoring the annoying big-batteries-in-the-trunk method a lot of conversions used, and well before proper kits like this were being sold. That’s why the one EV Accord from a few years ago was so fascinating to me: Not only was it impressive, but it used a *bigger* and more common-ish car that was unlike most EV conversions beforehand. It’s becoming less and less needed to shell out a bunch of money (and miles) to get the one cool project car that’s both good for conversions and unique/old enough to have. Stuff like my high school dream EV conversion (an 80’s town car, which are quite common in my region, converted to EV) is now becoming more and more possible!

The "ducks" in the Cadillac logo were a big part of the original Caterra marketing campaign "The Caddy that zigs". In the ads, one of the ducks (named Ziggy) would pop out of the logo and face in the opposite direction. The ducks were removed in the 2009 update of the logo and the wreath was removed in 2014. Cadillac said becuase the logo kept getting bigger due to larger grilles on cars, the ducks and wreath looked awkward when the logo was made larger.

That's why gearheads are now on trucks. Cars are all the same. Trucks still had some variety in 2019...but when they stared advertising their fancy tailgates as their only distinctive feature...I knew trucks were headed for the washing machine vanilla factory too. Eventually the F150, Ranger, Maverick, Tacoma, GMC, Dodge, Rivian will all look alike with EV drives or GasElectric. The F150-Rivian box.

These larger vehicle with more focus on luxury/cruising, are fit for EV conversions. I would like to convert a Jaguar 420G here in the UK, it seems ideal. A common theme amoungst these types of vehicles (Rolls-Royces, Bentley, etc) is that they are developed to be "seemless" in engine power/torque delivery and silent in operation.

This is pretty much the only way I want to experience these older cars anymore. It's not like anybody ever keeps the engines stock to begin with.

Many, many people want cars with electric motors but want a pure analog driving experience. Converting these classic cars are the future. The problem, of course, is range. These new companies are competing with Tesla. 400 miles of range is the new normal.

Are these as heavy as a tesla? I definitely am curious about the safety of cars and electric cars when it comes to collisions in the future. tons of weight being smashed into another car that isn't as heavy could end in more fatalities.

I don't like the way Revolt Systems made the mount, it's too close to the center of the motor, under real driving conditions I see that eventually twisting or distorting the frame where the bracket mounts and also loosening the bolts that mounted to the actual motor housing,. This should be a solid wider CNC bracket. But that's one beautiful caddy.

I think they’re should be rubber bushings if it doesn’t have any yet, but those mounts would hold a 500lbs engine making the same hp. Even with that over hang.
