“What about the local people who have converted mehrans into limos or routinely add bigger cargo spaces/load floors to cargo carrying 4 and 3 wheelers? What about the conversion of bikes into 3 wheelers, which are very popular with people with disabilities or with older riders?”

Well, you see… those people are “uneducated” “Jaahil” Pakistanis. So no matter what they do, their efforts should never be recognized.

Khurram, on the other hand is talking about white people (aka Goras), therefore it is absolutely necessary for him to call them “talented” and “ingenious”, even when they’re making plain bread! 😁

Not to forget that using that gearbox is just more wear and tear and more energy lost. Electric motors provide instant powerful torque which will wear out the transmission quicker.

This is also mostly why electric conversions of ICE vehicles doesn’t happen a lot. Unless you’re using the motor unit and batteries from Tesla; which has no gearbox system and connects the motors directly to the axles of the wheels, it is just cumbersome and can bring more problems instead of mitigating it.

Does this car still use a gearbox after conversion to EV?

If the average light pickup truck uses 15L/100km, the fuel economy is only 6.67 km/L, it is way tooo low, unless he is comparing it with a standard LCV 2WD IMV-III Hilux, which is a light pickup truck in North American terms but in no way matches the body dimensions, ground clearance, load rating & tow rating of a 10th gen Corolla.

Maybe they will finally get to make some EVs. 🤷‍♂️]]> So let me get this straight, This company is successfully converting old ICE Toyota cars to electric. Even modifying and repurposing them as Pickups.

On the flipside we have Toyota itself which made an EV which keeps on shedding its wheels for some reason which Toyota STILL has not identified. Or (pure Speculation here) Toyota HAS identified the problem but is too embarrassed to make that info public. On top of that Toyota is now asking BYD to make its sedan EV. As in start to finish. The whole car. With NO technical input from Toyota what so ever. 🤦‍♂️

Whatever the case may be, Toyota should fire its entire EV department and hire these guys. Maybe they will finally get to make some EVs. 🤷‍♂️

Moreover, aside from doing proper recycling and achieving net zero in less hurtful manner, this process is also shedding light on Toyota’s skills at designing consumer centric cars. The vehicles could be re-evolved as per changed needs, it reminds me about the American who converted his old Prius into pick-up truck, good old Toyota, no wonder it still remains one of the largest companies in the world as regards to brand equity.

P.S. The tenth generation was more decent looking than 11th generation.
