Planning to buy an EV and my budget is 15-18 lakh.
Daily running 70 to 100 km.
Monthly on trip 200km to my hometown.
Suggest best option or should I wait for 2 to 3 years for better EV infra.
Currently driving verna petrol 2015 passing 2030.
I want a ev scooty for daily use. I am a college student. I want it just for travelling from home to college. Please suggest any good EVs under 65k.
Many have suggest ola s1 z, Yo drift dx, Ampere magnus. I am confused.
Some even suggested me to don't go for EVs cause they have less resale value.
What to do
Hi, can this charger charge 5 lifepo4 12.8 volt batteries? They will be 100 ah, I wanna use it in a electric tricycle
I need bms and charger recommendations. Battery pack is going to be 96s. I want a bms and charger that work well together easily. What do you guys recommend? Any help appreciated.
There was a buzz couple of years ago about battery swapping technology, with hopes it would spread and be a solution or range anxiety for potential EV buyers. Its been several years now, and from observation, the tech has not fully kicked off especially in North America.
Can the community chime in on the latest on this tech, how feasible it is, why its mot as widespread as expected?
First time poster but long time lurker. I don’t have a project started yet but want to start one in the next few years. Saw this warranty replaced Chevy bolt battery for sale in my area. Has anyone used these in their conversions or is the battery temperature management system difficult to work with?
Thanks.
Hi evrybody i have a question.
So i have a suzuki samurai 1.3 carburator 1985y. 44kw
I was thiniking about tu puting a el.motor because off power & silence. But i still wish for it to have combust engine, i don’t like to depend on charge. I drive it a lot in woods, mud & i like to go camping. Not overlanding but more weekend warior.
So i was surfing & asking AI, but he gave me a idea of mid-drive el.engine. After Transmison before transfer case i have a short drive-shaft. To conect it there by chain.
So i was thinking on such small & light car, 10 kw will mater. It has a lot of uses & potential.(from acceleration** **to driving up hill, In the wood and Especially on the road) “they are painfully slow on the road”
But here comes my first problem, i can’t find nowhere this kind od conversion, only full EV. I know roughly what to do because of AI. But i still wish to see i somebody manage to do it, and if will be worth it, because engine is expensive, because i need to get the one that you can powerwash after drive. It’s DIY project, im not the best with el. But im very detaling persone, and i like projects.
I have some new ev conversion components and I don't know where to list them. Any suggestions are appreciated
I’m in the “what if” stage of wanting to do an EV conversation project and I see hyper 9s being used in old smaller tacomas with good results. I have a 1st generation tundra with nearly 400k miles on the engine and with it being a Toyota it could last anywhere between 1 and 15 more years. When it does die that truck will go from daily driver to project car status and I’d love to EV convert it but I don’t know how much motor it needs. The 1st generation tundra weighs somewhere between 3500lb-4000lb without its engine and transmission.
Believe it or not- no body wanted the shell for free…
So— It took me ~ 4 weeks of chipping away at it with sawzall…. and slowly bringing pieces to the dumpster at work. Today I finally got the last pieces cut down to dumpster size! I’m looking forward to gaining the space in the garage for the next phase of the project:
Wiring up and bench testing my leaf HV drive system and resolve EV controller!
Most people who followed $CYDY remember March 30, 2021. The FDA publicly stated that CytoDyn's claims about leronlimab were "misleading and not supported by the data", no benefit was shown in COVID-19 treatment trials. The stock dropped 25%+ that day.
What happened afterward was a class action lawsuit covering investors who held $CYDY between March 27, 2020 and March 30, 2022.
A $500,000 settlement has been reached and terms are now submitted to the court for approval.
Who qualifies?
Anyone who held $CYDY during the class period and suffered losses from the alleged misrepresentations about leronlimab's effectiveness for HIV and COVID-19.
Can I still apply?
Yes, you can submit your application now and it will be processed once claims filing officially opens after court approval.
If you were damaged by this don't forget to check your eligibility. GL!
Is anyone interested in starting EV wiring harness manufacturing?
I'm using a Netgain Hyper9 in place of the original engine; I kept the original 6-speed manual transmission. About 24kwh of LFP cells; about half go in the engine compartment, and the other half go in the back under the seats where the gas tank used to be.
I got an Audi A6 vacuum pump and Festo VPENV-PS/O-S-L-GH vacuum switch to turn it on and off. I realized the Festo switch can't drive any significant amount of current, so I got a solid state relay. Once I wired it up and adjusted it, it kept turning on and off. I realized that as soon as the pump switches off, it lets all the air out. So, I guess I need a check valve and a separate reservoir. The pump itself seems to have its own small reservoir, so I thought maybe that's all that's needed, but no. I ordered something that looks like it ought to work...
I really like the look of this "car," but I’m not happy with its power output. I’d like to boost the power to 40 kW using lightweight, affordable components. Right now, I think the best setup would be a rear differential from a Lexus RX450h paired with an inverter from a Toyota Prius. I work as an auto electrician, but I’ve never worked on electric vehicles before. Could you give me some advice?
Hey everyone! Just dropped the next episode of my EV conversion channel, Resistor Garage, and wanted to share it with the community.
Meet "Frank"—my new daily-driver project. He’s a 2015 Nissan Rogue that I picked up for $2,000 with a completely blown CVT transmission (it literally wouldn't even drive up the U-Haul dolly).
The plan? Rip out the dead ICE drivetrain and Frankenstein it with a 60kWh battery pack from a salvaged 2023 Chevy Bolt and a Nissan Leaf motor, all controlled by an open-source Zombieverter VCU. I'm aiming for a reliable 200-mile grocery getter and family hauler.
In this episode, I’m breaking down the donor car, outlining my 2-stage plan for active battery heating/cooling, and building a custom wooden chain hoist gantry over my pickup bed to pull the motor.
Check out the build intro here and let me know what you think:
17 years ago, I was an 18-year-old kid trying to build a DIY electric vehicle out of a rust-bucket ’80s Dodge Daytona. It ended with a massive short circuit, an exploding motor controller, and a near-miss runaway car that almost ran me over.
Today, the dream is officially back.
Welcome to the re-launch of Resistor Garage! In this video, I’m digging up the ancient, grainy footage of my first massive EV conversion failure to share what went wrong, what I learned, and why it inspired my entire career in electronics.
But we aren't just looking backward. The technology has finally caught up to the vision. I'm officially announcing my next major build: a full EV conversion of a 2015 Nissan Rogue using a salvaged Nissan Leaf motor, a Chevy Bolt battery pack, and a mountain of custom open-source hardware, microcontrollers, and 3D-printed parts.
If you love electronics, microcontrollers, 3D printing, and sketchy garage engineering, you’re in the right place. Hit that subscribe button and let's build back the dream—one piece at a time.

I am testing a few options for https://electr0motiv.com hero message.
The first one is the original. The second a new alternative. #3 is current
Here is a bit more context on electr0motiv's story:
Most people who want to convert a car to electric face the same problem: professional shops that handle it end-to-end charge $50,000–$100,000, which is out of reach for most. But doing it completely alone — sourcing the right components, getting those systems to work together reliably, making sound technical decisions across a complex multi-phase build — is more than most people can take on without support.
electr0motiv is built for the space in between. It's a membership platform built around the idea that the knowledge to do this well already exists in thousands of documented builds, and that making it personally useful — organized, trustworthy, and specific to your situation — is what makes the difference.
For someone still figuring out whether conversion is right for them, it's a research and discovery tool: what would it cost, what has it looked like on your specific car — drawing on documented build series and aggregated intelligence from conversions of the same vehicle — and what do you need to know before committing. For someone ready to build, it generates a complete project plan — every phase, every component, a timeline — backed by an AI Coach that draws on that body of documented experience to guide decisions at every step, and generates a personalized learning curriculum: structured modules across safety, electrical, mechanical, and planning topics, sequenced to the member's skill level and the demands of their specific build. For someone already in a build, it's the resource that keeps the project moving when obstacles come up.
The platform also addresses the sourcing problem directly. Finding the right components — ones that work together for your specific vehicle and budget — takes months of research done individually. The platform provides vetted vendor access and group purchasing across the member network, so members benefit from pricing that individual buyers can't access. For a project involving thousands of dollars in components, the savings on a single group purchase can more than cover the cost of membership.
Every recommendation Coach makes can be reviewed and validated by human experts. That matters in a domain where the stakes — financial and safety — are real.
Around all of this is a global community of builders at every stage of the same journey. Every build documented on the platform makes it more useful for the next member — the knowledge compounds over time in ways no forum or standalone tool can replicate. The community also stays with members after the build is done — when something goes wrong on the road, there are people who know how conversions like yours work. Where enough members gather in a region, physical clusters become possible: shared space, tools, and hands-on support for the stages that benefit from it.
We are researching what people might pay for this as monthly or annual membership. For a project involving thousands of dollars in components and hundreds of hours of work, the value is in better decisions, less time wasted, and guidance that's been tested against real builds.
What might it be worth to you?
