Military Jeeps were already green, but Jeep and EV enthusiast Mike Picard took that theme one step further by converting a 1952 Willys M38 to electric power.
According to the Kaiser Willys Blog, Mike had to overcome various challenges. For starters, "the battery pack and size of the motor had to big enough to have enough torque and power." So Mike used a WarP 11DC motor in this conversion and connected it to the original Willys transmission and transfer case. "A thermal
switch and two fans are needed to keep the high-amperage heat within
normal range," the blog entry continues.
