Last year I saw on a Dutch Fiat Panda forum a person that converted an original fiat panda elettra to a LiFePO4 battery ten years ago. Fiat Panda Elettra 1988 conversion to LIFePO4 project, looking for a BMS, tips? He and his wife already drove 100.000 kilometres with it. Last week it was delivered to The Netherlands.

Also, keep in mind that low rpm torque isn't the aim when going electric, that uses a lot of battery capacity, so you are looking at spinning the electric motor fairly fast to get that rock crawling ability, and that requires higher battery voltage. Any ideas where to purchase electric components and labor guide ?

High Power Demand: Rapid torque changes strain the battery and power electronics, potentially hurting in-wheel motor efficiency. It is a good looking box to house a final university project showcasing the batteries. I suspect hub motors were chosen to maximize space available to the batteries. At least that is what I gather.

Of the things added by Vantage for the conversion, almost everything has gone bad and been replaced/repaired, spending literally months in the shop, while the original Chinese-made FAW minivan platform has had one problem -the wiper motor. 4-5 months ago, due to ongoing lead-acid battery longevity. The latest fiasco?

For the conversion, the company will remove the fuel tank and supplant it with a 42.0-kWh kWh battery pack. It also makes the model quite a bit faster than stock and is allegedly quite easy to install.
