I know this topic has been raised several times before but the technology is advancing at such a pace I thought I'd share for those interested. With neat, modular powertrain components such as the Bosch e-axel and similar, conversion to electric seems more realistic.

Perhaps those with greater technical knowledge can comment on the potential mechanical challenges but with the ability to power vehicles up to 7.5 metric tons, even the most overloaded camper would seem feasible?
The charging network will only get better and cost of batteries etc will continue to fall so maybe EV'ing a t25 could become commonplace sooner than we think. Who here will be first??

Re: EV'ing a t25
Tis the way to go, prefer the look of the bosch unit, remove spare wheel, tank, gear selection, maybe enough space for front wheel drive, with underslung batteries it would free up tons of space in the rear.nsjtaylor wrote:This guy is giving it a go with some Tesla kit (on a T25) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHOCdc ... fR1qoW4Atg
