Tesla powered Fiat 500 Electric Conversion Kit. Full bolt-in kit overview. 

As if your conversion weren't already enough to make this car better in every way to the stock ICE version, it's a REAL pleasure to see you young people avoid nailing a lousy infotainment screen to the dash board.🤣🤣 Even an OAP like me could drive this. There is NOTHING I dislike about this car as you've rebuilt it here! This is perfectly sized for nipping about Honolulu. All the new cars around here are those awful, character-less SUVs and MPVs that scarcely fit in either the car parks or the lousy roads. I bet our speed limits of mostly 35MPH would allow even this car to circumnavigate the whole 112-mile route around the eastern half of this island of O'ahu. What a great machine. Aloha to all of you out there.

This is how cars should be made nowadays. An electric kit and then you go out and find a shell of your choice. Coach builders would be back in business. You could even think of a 4 wheel chassis and roll bar with standard points for fixing body panels to it and you then go out and buy the panels for the type of car you want.

I hope we see a lot more of these bolt-in kits for classic cars in the future.

Here in Wales, with 20mph speed limits everywhere, this is the perfect conversion.

Great Video - I want to see more of these... can you do a Land Rover Series? and for those that think converting classics is sacrilegious, I would suggest that converting is the best way to keep these cars on the road and out of a Museum

This is really cool to see. Revitalize old cars that would otherwise be taken off the road. Would love to see a high horsepower build in one of these

Awesome...I want one

Good man, love your work

Should the motor be 44kW, not 44kWh? KWh implies storage of energy which a motor isn’t capable of. :)

Great work on this car! I love it! Keep up the good work! I'm planning to convert my 1982 Fiat Spider and your videos give me so many ideas!

Interesting kit. It'd make one of them a fair amount more peppy to drive, considering it's quadrupling the HP. Also thought it was funny how he was trying to demonstrate the shifter, but the camera cut to the shifter in the vehicle.

More mini ev conversions please... Watching from the Philippines 🇵🇭

I absolutely love the idea retro conversion kit for a classic car. Techie question "does you Kit allow for a Park Mechanism being applied the the drive train, rather just relying on the park brake only?

1:05 Motor power measures in kilowatts, not in kilowatt hours :)

my mother in laws 1960's 500 is sitting in the basement garage in Rome waiting for somethign like this - obvious two questions are cost and who can/needs to fit the kit - presume its not a diy kit with all the hv?

I love the little Fiat 500, Performance specs would be useful, distance on a full battery and top speed.

That system would be quite suitable for an 850 Sport Coupe, wouldn’t it?

Rover mini conversion? How much?

One question why don’t you offer one that connect to automatic gear would the gears not give you a faster 0-60 and faster top end. Pls excuse me if I am being an idiot while I understand the basics of electric cars I am coming from a history of ICE vehicles and truly don’t know. That said this car and kit looks awesome. I would love one for a Volvo es1800 maybe a 75

as always prices have to go a lot lower to not be just another fancy quirk for the few interested ritch

how much?

If those battery packs get any more energy dense, you could get the boot back. But till then, I don't think people refitting old Fiats really care that much about the lost space.

So there's nothing "Tesla" about this other than the battery modules.

If it doesn't need a clutch, and it runs through a locked gear box why not just attach it directly into the differential?

And it’s only £28000 fitted. 😂 ludicrous.

why did you say the motor is 44kWh and not 44kW?

Is there a version with Air Conditioning?

Australian here...... Heater and no A/C? Are you trying to kill me?

👋👋🇸🇪

£28000!! Jesus that’s expensive Plus VAT by the way 😂 £50000 if you want one already done… Plus VAT 🤪

Give credit where it's due: Engiro powered...not Tesla powered.

40 kWh motor 🙄

Its like a kids battery powered car, too small and unsafe in todays motoring lunacy. Price is a bit ambitious

Classics are classics for a reason - sticking electric motors in everything is a farce. Let the fan base fire away.....

I have to disagree im afraid. Why anyone would put a battery into a classic car like this, is beyond my understanding. Its not a classic 595, fiat 650, alfa twin cam, or anything else remotely similar, unless you get the sound of the ice and the smell from the carbs. This is just driving a retro toaster. EVs have their place. As i mostly drive within a 15miles radius for work, i would use one in a heartbeat. This though, this is sacrilegious
