We convert vehicles to electric power. We focus on older vehicles and reusing components bound for scrap yards.

#Miata1EV subframe is out! Everything came off pretty easily except the swaybar endlinks. The LSD is still installed and may try to sell that as-is. Otherwise, we can pull and sell separate. It's not new, but only installed and never used!

Saving #Miata1EV subframe. We are convinced the Leaf motor and gear reduction will fit here! While in between builds, we are going to figure this out!

We see more Miatas in the future, so we are keeping some key pieces. First to come out are the #coilovers! How low can you go?

See? We're not the only ones that think EV conversions offer the real value!
For 100k you could buy two 1971 Chevy C10s (one of the best looking pickup trucks ever) and convert them both to electric and still have 20k left over for fun
At the vet least you'd have a real, functional truck

As more electric vehicles hit the road, the grid's power source becomes more relevant to how much carbon EV's are responsible for in their lifecycle. Internal combustion engines tend to become less efficient and release more carbon as they age, renewable energy grids mean EVs emit less as they age
Cutting clean energy just means higher bills, slower growth, and less reliable power.

While disassembling #Miata1EV, we wanted to share what worked. We reused the drive selector mechanics so that D and R were selected by new momentary push buttons. N was selected by pressing the original Leaf P.
This proved more reliable than the reed (magnetic) switches for D and R in #FrontiEV.

We need garage space! We already scavenged some parts from Miata1EV for the FrontiEV, now its time to get serious. First we will get the battery and all HV parts out to reuse later. Then some of the nice parts for our local Miata community! Stay tuned!

“We’re living through the fastest energy transformation in human history. Every previous large-scale shift in energy—from muscle power to wood to coal to oil—has taken decades or even longer. But the ‘renewable revolution’ is happening far faster.”
Climate action can feel slow – but the fastest energy leap in history has begun
Weaning ourselves off fossil fuels is glacially slow – isn’t it? This pessimistic narrative doesn’t stack up against evidence of very rapid change in the real world.

AI graphed some gear ratios for us. FrontiEV has 31inch tires and not expected to ever see 80 mph. These ratios seem readily available. With 200k on the trans, trying to keep RPMs below 7000. Hardbodies have 4.11 and same axle codes!

It's been a while so here's an overview of where our FrontiEV build is today. The interior is buttoned up and all wire leads for Arduino control of dash and HVAC are in place. Nothing has changed in the engine bay or bed, but we take a look anyway!

Getting controls assembled for the heater. We've removed the whole control assembly and have attached a sliding potentiometer from @dfrobot_official. We're using some insulation trimmings glued to the sliding cable actuator to connect the pot.
Physically, things look good! We'll see about the code!

A bit late, but an earlier post on the radiator situation that I missed. I had some nice silicone elbow reducers for the Frontier radiator to the Leaf pump and motor. And then found a radiator leak.
Radiators to choose from as a replacement. A little trim to a Leaf one and it's mounted okay!

Would you believe this? Nissan did not put cabin air filters in the early Frontiers and Xterras. You have to cut out a hole and install them yourself. Napa filter 224856 comes with instructions, but doesn't say anything about cutting a hole!
I'm trying to grab those nubs and pull out solid plastic!

A/C compressor is mounted and in position. This is from the 2023 donor with 3 wires. Supposedly it is controlled with LIN protocol, but I expected 4 wires: 12v, gnd, Tx, Rx. We have a 2014 with 4 wires as backup.
Clearance is good, just need to extend the HV cables and get hoses fitted!
