Who can convert vehicles to BEVs?
You don’t have to be an engineer — there are books and kits. You may need help with welding or machining. 42. Can I convert my classic car to BEV but preserve its value? Yes, no body or weight modifications can be done if a small pack of LiFePO4 batteries is used, mounted to where the original motor and gas tank mounts were. 43. Will converting my car to BEV void my warranty? Only if the change affects the warranty claim. As an extreme example, if you change the motor but your upholstery unrelatedly falls apart, you can still get the upholstery fixed under warranty. Reused drive train components could be stickier, but there is a legal precedent. 44. What is the best type of battery for a BEV? Large format high power long life deep cycle LiFePO4 is becoming more common, with fast charging nanotechnology versions being sought after next. Flooded lead acid golf car batteries are the most popular for conversions, but weigh several times more for the same capacity at high BEV discharge cur
