Check Out This Audi With A Tesla Powertrain
Using Tesla guts seems to be the preferred method for conversion these days.
Audi hasn’t yet released an all-electric car (we’re not counting the limited R8 e-tron here), but that doesn’t mean there aren’t some techies out there who haven’t converted Audis to electric on their own…
Here is the project of converting an Audi S5 to electric using a Tesla Model S as a donor.
All 16 battery modules were put inside. The electric motor and inverter were split and installed in the front.
Interestingly, Rich Rebuilds visited the build and despite tons of his own projects, seems impressed by this particular one.

I don’t get the point. What’s so great about an Audi A5? Why go to the trouble? It’s a lot of engineering and work for such a plebeian car, but I guess the guy said he really loves Audis so, to each their own. The video quality is terrible so I couldn’t make out what he said the range was. Was it 50 miles? 150 miles? 250 miles?
Pull the engine put in a Remy brush less three phase.
From a recycling/environmental view conversion of newer LICE vehicles is preferable to scraping or selling off into the 3rd world.
