High Power 2003 GMC S-10 Conversion


Our S-10 conversion was started with 2 objectives in mind:
1, to show people that converting a vehicle to electric doesn't mean compromising performance.
And 2, to show that 30 mile ranges and 50mph top speeds don't have to be typical.

Aside from doing customer conversions and selling EV components, we like to always have a project of our own going on. This allows
us to toy with new ideas, develop first hand experience with new technology, challenge ourselves and inspire others.



Here are some images of the conversion and the fabrication that went into it. We will be providing this conversion in kit form
soon that will include all brackets and adapters. It will be a no weld, no drill kit. Every bracket and mount we fabricated is designed to
be a direct bolt on. There is no drilling or welding on the frame of the truck anywhere. The installation uses existing holes in the frame
and body to mount everything.
Here are the details of the conversion:
