  • I’m not super familiar with trabants, I mean in a detail sort of way. But to EV convert there are a lot of things to factor in. For example the go to conversion is to buy a wrecked Tesla and use its battery and drive unit. However the model 3 pack is bigger in length as the trabant 1.1 at 218cm vs the trabant wheelbase of 202cm and width is 150 cm vs the trabant at 151 cm. Which means you’re opening up the pack and using the modules. Likely need to make your own battery boxes at that point.

    Totally doable. Take a look at some of the youtubers who focus on this because there is some cool tech coming out now specifically for this purpose.

    Some even go super simple where they leave the gearbox, and just make an EV motor adapter to connect and you can even shift the gears (pointless but fun).
