Since you are keeping the escape are you repairing the fender? What insurance are you going to have on it?

How about a 110v mini-split for AC? ^^

Genuinely like the 70s decor.

If you did get the turbine-generator range extender, you could have indicator lights that read "batteries to power" when the main battery contactors close, and "turbines to speed" when the range extender spools up. I've always wanted a car that did that.

I think that maybe if time and cost were no object i'd also add a third powered axle (and required ancillaries). Though a turbine range extender would be awesome. Ariel is planning to do that with their "hipercar".

Great Episode. Nice to hear that you've got extra viewers and subscribers for this project. I realise every video you put up is a fine balance of enough detail so we know what's going on, but not so much that the non-techy viewers get bored, confused or feel excluded. How about some additional videos, just for the nerds that go into the full detail of wiring and configuring the escape? You could leave all the clever, time consuming (and highly entertaining) production/editing stuff, and leave it a bit rough round the egdes - "unscripted and casual" style.

If you ever get rid of the Explorer, will you replace it with an Edge?

i wonder if there might need to be a suspension upgrade to handle the weight of the ev powertrain.
