- Comments Off on Jaguar EV Conversion: The Wiring and Reassembly Journey – Video Part 4
In this Kinghorn Electric Vehicles update, we delve into the wiring and rebuilding stages of our Jaguar EV conversion project. We focus on integrating a complex wiring system that piggybacks on the car’s original loom, allowing for reversible modifications. We also custom-design and 3D print adapters for dual-charge ports. The control systems and modern throttle pedal are installed using existing car features, while new dash switch panels are crafted to match updated functions. Weight adjustments lead us to tweak the suspension for optimal balance. The interior sees updated panels and the addition of a Bluetooth amplifier and speakers. Stay tuned for the first power-up in our next video! 00:00 Introduction to the Jaguar EV Conversion00:34 Wiring the Conversion Components01:24 Installing Charge Ports and Control Systems02:36 Customizing the Dashboard and Panels03:09 Adjusting Vehicle Weight and Suspension03:41 Interior Restoration and Upgrades04:17 Final Touches and First Startup05:24 Conclusion https://youtu.be/7OUdnjtUHhE

The latest video on our YouTube channel opens the discussion on whether an electric vehicle is than an internal combustion engine vehicle for commuting.
George realised that being stuck in traffic on the way to work whist driving a 2012 Renault Kangoo EV van that it was the perfect time to open this discussion.
