This may be something I am interested in as well! I also picked up a gs450h with high mileage (360,000+ miles) for dirt cheap with the idea that I'd gamble on at least parts of it being salvageable for my EV swap. Turns out it starts up just like any other Toyota wants to (after I swapped out the ...

I'd love to hear how this works out for you. It's hard getting some of the good stuff the rest of the world has into the US.


Here is a screenshot/quick breakdown of my Sendico experience: Screenshot 2023-12-06 115825.png

The inverter was 10,500 yen ($71.31 USD) and the transmission was 36,509 ...

I need to clean up my original post and revise some goals. Long term goal is still100+ miles of range. Short term I am okay with 25 to get it moving. I didn't go with that pack though. I am currently researching some LG Chem batteries, Tesla batteries, or waiting to find a decent price on a BMW ...

A quick update: I have the car mostly stripped. The dang ICE motor is still in it though for the time being. Have ordered an Inverter + transmission from Sendico but it has not been a straight forward process. We'll see if/when I get them and how much they cost. A side note- I found some Enerdel ...

Hey man! I'm not sure how often you check the forum but I thought I'd ask how you like the Enerdel batteries you have in your build. I found an ad for some "new" ones on eBay that seem to fit the bill but I don't see many projects with people using them. I am sure it could very well just be me not ...

I'd be interested in that BMW 12kw pack if you still have it!

I was able to find it by searching the model # 30920-30030 and everything was very expensive- $1,000-$2,000 USD. It's probably I'll advised but I found a decent one on Yahoo Auctions Japan that I put a bid on. Right now it isn't too expensive but I am going to have to have it shipped to Sendico and ...

I just sent a PM!

Thanks for the responses guys! Wheel size is stock so 17's and I will have to check the rear diff ratio. Looks like I already messed up though and thought I could get a GS300H in the US but no such luck. I guess the hybrid model of the GS300H (2014) wasn't released in the United States which has ...

TLDR: I know very little about EV conversions but enthusiastic! So enough to be dangerous? I have a 2015 Scion FR-S that I joked about to converting to an EV when the engine blew. Welp that happened a lot faster than I imagined so here I am! Since my car goes by many names (Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ ...

I may also be interested if those above decide not to buy! I too am pretty new but not super afraid of having to solder something. Not sure what shipping to the US would cost though.
