Pondering converting my 'basket case' Jeep Cherokee (XJ) to electric.
I've done zero research. 🙃
There must be an adapter to mate a automotive grade electric motor to a Jeep NV231/NV242 transfer case?
Having zero experience with EVs, what size/power motor should I aim for to match ~200hp/200lb-ft usability?
Given the torque characteristics of an electric motor versus ICE, from a user perspective I don't need a motor that powerful to squirt through traffic and break axles in four low?
Hey Gang!
Just a quick note that I've moved my Mastodon account to weird.autos! Thanks to @Mark@weird.autos for this resource!
It looks like most of my followers made it over, feel free to reconnect if it didn't happen automagically.
