Hybrid to EV
Posted: Mon Mar 08, 2021 9:47 pm
Hi everyone, new to the world of EV and looking for information please.
Recently bought a Toyota Estima hybrid AHR20 and it set me to wondering. Having seen the results with a Lexus transmission, how feasible is it to convert this car to a full EV?
I'm learning all the time but haven't really got my head round it properly. Can I use the existing inverter? It would be ever so convenient, especially as the car has a motor on the rear axle as well. What about the existing cooling system? There's 2 on the car, one for the engine, the other for the electrics.
If I'm going to do this, I will source another car to convert. Not going into the specifics right now, just wondering what's possible.
Thanks in advance...
