THIS VAN IS A TESLA MODEL Y! ELECTRIC VAN CONVERSIONS BY MAXWELL FULLY INTEGRATE TESLA TECH

EV Channels Review

This video explores Maxwell Vans' innovative approach to electrifying Ram ProMasters by integrating Tesla Model 3 Performance powertrains and battery packs. The reviewer highlights the impressive integration of Tesla's hardware and software, noting that Maxwell sources used Tesla components for sustainability and cost-effectiveness. Key advantages include robust thermal management, fast charging capabilities (up to 200kW with CCS), and the unique ability to power the entire vehicle's house systems from the main high-voltage battery. While the base 'fleet' mode offers calm acceleration, a 'sport' mode unlocks the full, surprisingly potent performance of the Model 3 Performance motor, making it exceptionally fast for a van. The reviewer praises the seamless integration, quiet operation, and the potential for van life conversions. Concerns about using used parts are addressed by Maxwell's warranty and the proven reliability of Tesla components. The main drawback noted is the ineligibility for tax credits due to the use of pre-owned drivetrains. Overall, the conversion is presented as a highly compelling and sustainable solution for electric vans.
