And if you want to get a classic car converted into an EV, it\u2019ll cost you even more. As a result, we\u2019re seeing more people convert old gas-powered vehicles to EVs themselves.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to build your own electric vehicle or watch others create amazing EVs in their garage, we have you covered.\u00a0DIY electric vehicle builds can be rather dangerous, plus it\u2019s certainly not cheap, but it\u2019s a growing trend with impressive results. And while you can find countless beautiful EV conversions online, we wanted to highlight a few epic DIY electric vehicles.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"All-Electric_Military_Humvee\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_0\">All-Electric Military Humvee<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<lite-youtube videoid=\"YxkPuEmIX4U\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/YxkPuEmIX4U\/hqdefault.jpg');\">\n<button type=\"button\" class=\"lty-playbtn\"><br \/>\n<span class=\"lyt-visually-hidden\">Play Video<\/span><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/lite-youtube>\n<p>Zack Nelson, the man behind the hugely popular <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/JerryRigEverything\/\">JerryRigEverything YouTube<\/a> channel, has spent the last year slowly building his electric truck. It\u2019s not just any truck, either. It\u2019s an original 1995 Military Humvee (HMMWV) with a cutout in the roof for guns and everything.<\/p>\n<p>His channel is known for durability-testing smartphones and gadgets, but Zack has a slew of hobbies, including his new EV Humvee. Considering the GM Hummer EV is over $115,000, and the Cybertruck has seen several delays, he took matters into his own hands and made his own.<\/p>\n<p>His videos are unique because they\u2019re informational, rather than just showing off cool stuff like most YouTubers. Zack shares the ups, downs, struggles, and failures, talks about why he went with Tesla battery cells, and details each decision along the way.<\/p>\n<p>And yes, he removed the rear seats and tossed in a slew of Tesla battery cells to give this thing insane amounts of power and range. It\u2019s a fun one you don\u2019t want to miss.<\/p>\n<p>You can watch the complete <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PL0vZL9uwyfOFezIOiBjkdW3TTdn0Q_AKL\">build series playlist here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1978_Ferrari_308_GTS_EV\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_1\">1978 Ferrari 308 GTS EV<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-121082 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/06\/d1a183f6.jpg\" alt=\"Ferrari 308 GTS turned electric\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-crediturl=\"https:\/\/electricgt.com\/builds\/1978-ferrari-308-gts\/\" data-credittext=\"Electric GT\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/electricgt.com\/builds\/1978-ferrari-308-gts\/\">Electric GT<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The DIY Humvee above can go just about anywhere, but it\u2019s certainly not fast. If you have the need for speed, you\u2019ll love this <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/electricgt.com\/builds\/1978-ferrari-308-gts\/\">1978 Ferarri 308 GTS<\/a> that ditched the powerful engine for battery packs and electric motors.<\/p>\n<p>Two enthusiasts set out to make an old classic Ferrari faster than ever possible back in 1978 by turning it into an EV. The owners, Eric Hutchinson, and Brock Winberg, were so successful in making the first electric Ferrari that the entire DIY build ended up on the news with <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2016\/11\/18\/meet-the-worlds-first-and-only-electric-ferrari.html\"><em>CNBC<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>What makes this DIY EV Ferrari special is that it\u2019s still a supercar. It\u2019s faster than the original 308 GTS. And while I\u2019m sure a few classic car owners will hate the idea of turning a classic into an EV and losing that sweet V8 sound, it\u2019s still pretty impressive to see what the two accomplished back in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>Electric vehicles have come a long way over the last few years, but in 2016, things weren\u2019t quite as clear, making this DIY build one for the books. Now, they even sell kits so you can make your own DIY EV if you dare. Head to the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/electricgt.com\/builds\/1978-ferrari-308-gts\/\">ElectricGT website<\/a> and see for yourself.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"DIY_Electric_SuperCar\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_2\">DIY Electric SuperCar<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<lite-youtube videoid=\"Dh7HCNi86cs\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/Dh7HCNi86cs\/hqdefault.jpg');\">\n<button type=\"button\" class=\"lty-playbtn\"><br \/>\n<span class=\"lyt-visually-hidden\">Play Video<\/span><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/lite-youtube>\n<p>While several companies offer EV conversion kits, there\u2019s something special about watching a regular guy build one himself, with no help, in the comfort of his garage. The YouTube channel <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/ElectricSuperCar\/featured\">Electric SuperCar<\/a> did exactly that, starting back in 2019, and the journey is one worth watching.<\/p>\n<p>The creator took a K1-Attack kit car and slowly, piece by piece, transformed it into a stunning electric supercar unlike anything else on the road. Without an entire company, engineers, battery experts, R&amp;D, and everything else Ford or Rivian has, this was a slow process. But as you can see, it was worth it.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily for you, the video above is an entire overview of the DIY electric supercar. It talks about the steering and suspension, wiring the 12V systems, fabricating all the parts, tossing in Tesla motors, and everything else you\u2019ll want to know.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ford_Model_A_EV_Conversion\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_3\">Ford Model A EV Conversion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<lite-youtube videoid=\"og1dEaDXbwg\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/og1dEaDXbwg\/hqdefault.jpg');\">\n<button type=\"button\" class=\"lty-playbtn\"><br \/>\n<span class=\"lyt-visually-hidden\">Play Video<\/span><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/lite-youtube>\n<p>Rich Benoit is a YouTuber with a channel known as <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/RichRebuilds\">Rich Rebuilds<\/a>.\u00a0And while he\u2019s made headlines for converting a Tesla into a V8-powered gas-guzzler that he takes to car shows, that\u2019s not the only project on the channel. In fact, Rich converted an old classic Ford Model A truck into a one-of-a-kind electric vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>A DIY EV project is hard enough, but things get even more challenging when it\u2019s a vehicle as old as a Model A. He ripped out the powerful (for its time) Chevy 305 inside, tossed in some electric motors and battery packs, and fabricated several parts to make it all work.<\/p>\n<p>His video covers some ugly truths about building your own EV and just how expensive the process can be. At first, his goal was to keep it affordable with Tesla parts, which proved challenging. The video explains how everything will end up more expensive than you probably budget for, but you\u2019ll still get to watch much of his process as he converts a classic rod into a modern EV.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Build_Your_Own_EV\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_4\">Build Your Own EV<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-102219 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/11\/8539be2e.jpg\" alt=\"Ford custom truck with e-crate eingine\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1081\" data-credittext=\"Ford\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Ford<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If any of these stories are giving you inspiration, you have several options these days.
