Here's few tips before you start an electric conversion project

At Ingenext, we know all about EV conversions! We've done a bit of everything, from classic cars to vans, baggage tractors and a Beetle. We've learned a lot in the process, which is why we're now considered experts in the field. 

Here are a few things to think about before embarking on your electric conversion project. 

Good planning is the key to success!

First of all, we advise you to draw up a budget. Depending on your needs and the components you choose, a conversion project will cost a minimum of around $15,000 CAD. And don't forget  to allow time, as you'll be putting in many hours of work. 

Secondly, we strongly suggest that you check the laws and regulations governing electrical conversions where you live. In Quebec, for example, it's highly regulated, and you need to produce a detailed report signed by an engineer in order to get a license plate. That's enough to put some people off! It would be a shame to run into this problem at the end of your project. 

Thirdly, choose your components wisely. Are you going to buy separate components? A donor vehicle? Do you want a vehicle with a long range? Power? Be careful where you buy your components, and make sure they're reliable. We've often found that when starting up controllers for our customers, many had bought batteries with cells that were unbalanced and unusable.

If you need to replace your battery, your budget will literally explode. The batteries and motors we sell with our controllers are tested before shipping, so you can be sure that your main components are reliable. 

Safety and basic knowledge

Our aim here is not to scare you, but to make you aware that batteries can be lethal. No one is immune to mishandling, which can lead to electric shock. Our advice is to take a high-voltage training course to make sure you're well informed. 

We also recommend that you have a good knowledge of CAN BUS, so that you can perform diagnostics and configuration yourself. Of course, mechanical knowledge will certainly help you to complete your project successfully. Bear in mind that a battery takes up space and can affect the vehicle's weight and stability. 

 Get informed! 

There are a number of communities and  groups on the Internet that share tips and tricks on how to make your project a success.

We can also help you if you decide to use Tesla Model 3/Y or Model S Plaid/Non-Plaid 2021 and + components. We've developed battery and motor controllers to simplify your life and enable you to get all the reliability, safety and power that Tesla components can offer. We can also sell you batteries and motors tested and ready to install in your vehicle.
