Hello! New Member on a mission
 
Hello people. Thank you all for opening your doors to me. I've been into converting vehicles for a while now but never fully went through with it because I need help. Lol. Last year I purchased a 2003 Ford explorer for a very cheap price. It was perfect because the engine went bad but everything else was intact. Because of how busy life is, I didn't get to it until July of this year. It took me a week to remove the engine. Afterwards I got busy again. Now I found little time in my life to fulfill my dream of converting the explorer. I've only seen videos on conversations but that's not enough for me. I did put together a battery pack for the truck but haven't moved further than that. The engine that I want to use is unusual for it but you never know until you try. Long story short, I need help fulfilling my EV journey. :turtle:

You might reference some other builds. What guidelines you want to use. And, pictures fir the semi-literate.

Welcome.

What motor are you willing to use?

Decide what speed and range you need. Expect the battery pack to add at least 1000 lbs to the weight. Do you plan to use a transmission as that will affect the motor specification? Capacitors can help with the large current draw at start up. Consider the charging systems available.
