I'll be watching closely. Good luck.

So with 90kW you'll get approximately 110miles from the usable battery charge.
Thats not bad. And as you say its conservative at 1.5 miles/kwh.
Yes the 2wd is good. The transfer box for the 4x4 takes away the space.
I'll look at battery options.

Having gone through a lot of this myself (although with a 2wd rwd vehicle) I was very close to going with a custom De Dion axle and Tesla drive unit because of the weight and space savings alongside efficiency (even more important when driving a 2.5T brick!). Unfortunately in these Mercedes T1 vans...

The likes of Fellten do the gear ratio changes and anti slip diff for the TM3 unit to make it useful for driving front and rear diffs. Looks like good results even for moderate off-road use looking at some defender conversions and videos. I went GS450H because it was the most accessible for me when...

My project is currently based on a GS450H to divorced Magna Steyr transfer case to maintain the factory Range Rover four wheel drive setup. This hasn't been as straightforward as I was expecting (have to update project thread with latest mods). Now have the short drive shaft angle a lot better. But...

I've been working on the basis of 1.5-1.75miles/kWh. My current diesel setup gets around 24mpg, (less when I drive too fast) which I've used to base my calcs on accounting for the equivalent energy per litre of fuel, however, a 4x4 will likely get worse milage. Re: the 4x4 conversion, I've not seen...

Thanks.
I was estimating around 150km based on 70kw battery and 500wh/km so that coincide roughly with the 2miles/kWh. I think.

With a 70kW battery (Actual 57kW) . (70kW * 90% = 63kW. Max discharge to 10% = 57.3kW).
I'm estimating
76 min recharge on 45kW charger.
491 min on domestic 7kW charger

but i guess this depends on the charger's fast charge ability.

Yes, that's what I'm thinking. Don't over complicate things. Any thought on battery size and charging. If I take about 500Wh/km for the box shaped van (5m long) I think need about a 70kw battery to get about 150km range weather dependant. Chargers and converters? I'm open to suggestions. I wont have...

Thanks, That's good news. I'm not a million miles away on the rpm then. Any thoughts on the 4x4 setup with the gs450h. gs450h to G wagen transfer box to front and rear G wagen axles. I want to keep it basic. I guess the gs450h has more torque than the gs300h but has the external oil pump. I suppose ...

So from above if I wanted to travel at 80mph with 4.3 diffs, 1:1 transfer box and 30" tyres and GS450h in high at 1.9:1, The motor would be turning at 7200 rpm? So for travelling up to a speed of 80mph from 0, the motor would be working from 0 to 7200 rpm. where does this range fit on the motor...

I see now that it not manual

Thanks. I hadn't considered the 300h. Didn't realise there was a reliability issue with the 450h.
I was hoping to use the two gear ratios in the 450h.
Is it not just a manual selector between the ratios?

Thanks.
Where are you based yourself?
The 300h doesn't seem to have been tested much.
Does the 450h have 2 forward gear ranges and the 300h has 1?
Have you considered ratios of the diff and wheel sizes?

Hi Jacobsmess, We are looking at doing the same thing then. I am based in Ireland. It is a T1 I want to convert. Circa 1994. If I'm going the 4x4 route I'll be using a w463 divorced transfer box. I believe the ratio of the transfer box is around 1:1 then I would have w463 axles that are 4.3:1. Have ...

Hi All, I am hoping to start a new project soon, and all going well I will post in the projects section. I just wanted to get a few thoughts/advice on my project before I gather the required parts. The project will be a Mercedes TN or T1 whatever you prefer to call it. Predecessor to the sprinter. I...

Hi,
Is this still for sale?
Thanks
John

Hi,
So you think this is still for sale?
Thanks
