Coming Soon

Jaguar XJS w/o engine
So much room for activities!

Recharged Garage is launching soon!

Our first project will be converting our 1979 Jaguar XJ-S
This particular vehicle was previously converted from a V-12 with a 3 speed automatic to a LS3 V-8 with 6 speed manual transmission (T56 Super Magnum) this will allow for a much simpler conversion, as there’s no automatic transmission to contend with, and the manual transmission is rated to 700 lb-ft of torque.

Out with the old(LS3)!

The inboard rear brakes and unique independent rear suspension arrangement made it nearly impossible to transplant a Tesla drive unit, so the decision was made to keep the front “engine” arrangement. Due to the long hood, there’s even enough room to add a second motor in-line for increased performance.

  • Upcoming install:
    • Hyper 9 144v Motor
    • CEV Motor Adapter
    • Nissan Leaf Battery Pack (22s2p for ~180v & ~23kWh)
    • Particle Electron for vehicle status via the internet.
    • 12v power steering pump (Probably from a Mini Cooper)
    • 12v vacuum pump (brakes)
    • Thunderstruck BMS & Charger
