65 EV Mustang #
This page is an overview of my project to restore a 1965 Ford Mustang and convert it to an electric car. This is a work in progress. I’ll update this page as the project progresses.
As well as posting here I’ll also be posting in my build thread on the openinverter forum.
Below you’ll find the specifications the car will have when complete.
| Battery pack | Two 9kWh BMW PHEV battery packs connected in parallel |
| Motor | Lexus gs300h transmission. Makes at least 105kw (140HP). Input shaft locked so MG1 and MG2 can both create traction. |
| Inverter | Prius Gen3 inverter/converter running dual motor board from EVBMW. |
| Battery management system | Custom hardware and software |
| AC charging capability | Single phase 3.3kw or three phase 10kw using Tesla Gen2 charger. |
| CCS DC charging capability | CCS DC fast charging up to 50kw using BMW LIM and custom control hardware/software |
| Chademo DC charging capability | Charging up to 50kw using custom hardware/software |
| Cabin heater | BMW i3 water heater (maybe) |
