Very excited to share the drive units are on there way .

Here is a pic of it all packaged up before the freight pick up from StealthEV. More to come.

 

Mitsubishi may not resound with numerous individuals with regards to vehicles, yet the name "Development" may in case you're an enthusiast of energizing or gaming or Vin Diesel films.

The Mitsubishi e-Advancement Idea is the Japanese automaker's vision of an elite hybrid SUV that doesn't sound excessively far-got. All things considered, there have been a lot of jolted SUVs, even from Mitsubishi: its Stranger PHEV is one of the most mainstream module mixtures.


Be that as it may, the e-Development, demonstrated Tuesday at the Tokyo Engine Show, denotes the first run through Mitsubishi has attempted to make a presentation vehicle utilizing EV innovation. Keeping that in mind, it gets three electric engines, with two mounted at the back of the vehicle to permit capacity to be part between those wheels for better taking care of through its four-wheel-drive framework. (In principle, it's like the framework offered on the old Evo, however it's electric here.) The battery pack is additionally mounted in the vehicle and under the floor, which Mitsubishi says improves the focal point of gravity.

Why the taking care of accentuation? Mitsubishi needs to fill an opening in its setup after the much-loved Lancer Advancement was dropped in 2015, in the midst of the organization's monetary difficulties and lessening vehicle deals. Accordingly, the e-Advancement SUV is the way Mitsubishi figures it can pull in fans once more.

Among its different thoughts, Mitsubishi needs to get in on the man-made intelligence game. The organization says the e-Development would utilize sensors to tailor the driver's ability level to the street conditions ahead and set the vehicle to perform as needs be. An "instructing capacity" is additionally intended to send significant data to the driver, so the jdm import capacities in a given circumstance are clarified. Fundamentally, Mitsubishi needs to assemble a presentation vehicle that won't rip your head off in the event that you aren't a dashing driver.


For a little automaker like Mitsubishi, the entirety of this seems like a fantasy to stay aware of each other automaker's electric and man-made intelligence guarantees. However, since the organization is essential for the Renault-Nissan group and will be instrumental in zap endeavors, a portion of the tech saw on the e-Development could begin to show up underway Renaults, Nissans, and Mitsubishis in the following scarcely any years.

 

Who the hell are you? And What does that have any relationship with what is being discussed here? This is a very real topic not some lame wet dream

 

Sorry for the rant. Back on topic. I share your enthusiasm for your delivery! What type of battery do you plan on going with?

 

Sh*t!!!!!

think they might have lost a 500+ lbs shipment !!! I just spoke with the freight company and they are contacting the dock/terminal to double check. I’ll update you guys if it gets found or lost claim needs to be filed .

 

I wanted to purchase the LG Chem batteries (also used in Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid, but they sent notices to venders to stop sales. They found out that people were buying them for EV conversions and stopped sales to the public. Really sucks. They are good batteries for power (not so much range) . I was going to get 7 to run in series and make 400 volts. Was gonna cost around 4-5k . Then later down the road get another 7 to run parallel to increase range . But now I’m not sure what will happen. Perhaps look for used ones from totaled Pacifica’s .

Next ones on the list are BMW Smart Tesla batteries or Nissan Leaf . Chevy Volt batteries are pretty big/ tall shaped .

I would have liked to get Tesla Batteries but I need 16 modules in series to make 400 volts and it would cost around 22,000+ dollars. That’s just way too much for me.

Batteries are last on my list . New stuff come out , prices decrease, etc... So no point for me to get it now , take up space until it’s time .

 

After close to 2 weeks the freight company found the package and delivered it today.

I haven’t had the chance to go through it as I’m currently working . But at brief glance it seems good and undamaged .



Motors Arrived

 

Very very exciting! Such a cool project

 

Thanks.

I also got hooked up with Tesla axles , still boxed up . Later on I’ll have to figure out how to get them cut and splined on one end to slip in the Evo’s cv . Strange Engineering company is only a few blocks away from my house . I’ll have to visit them later to see if they can modify my axles .

All laid out on the table. Wire harness, fuses, contactors, resistors, water pumps etc.. They all came labeled to help me/buyers with installation. These will have to wait. I’m going to concentrate on the motors/drive units first then work on the electrical stuff.

 

I wasn’t sure if I can mount the drive units safely and create adequate structural support. So, I contacted Ben at Hochman Fabrication and Speed who agreed to help me. In the process Ben will be documenting his work .

I hope you enjoy the show .

 

I know there are some interested parties out there wanting to know more about EV conversion and what is involved and how it all works.... Well in the process of learning EV’s myself, I made a friend who is also doing a conversion to his Porsche. You all are in luck , as he made a nice video to better explain how all this works. His car will use a single large rear Tesla drive unit purchased from StealthEV.com .


I’ll post additional progress as it becomes available for my car.

 

A little update for now more to come..

 

Rear drive unit mounting is nearing completion just needs some reinforcement around the brackets.










My car is lowered from stock height. And as it sits, the lowest part is about the same clearance from the ground if not more as if i had an exhaust.

 

Video of how the rear subframe was coming together .

Ben is making this subframe so that it can be offered as a “bolt on” solution for anyone interested in converting. Obviously you will need to cutout the trunk spare tire floor.

 

Some more video footage of how the rear subframe is coming together
