There’s a lot more than swapping in the E-axles. The engine will need to be swapped out for a small Cummins engine with the generator bolted on the back and the battery packs will need to be fabbed in place as well along with all the high voltage wiring and what not. It’s certainly not an insurmountable job but it will definitely be out of reach for most people to do at home without having had a decent amount of experience.
Just to be clear, I’m extremely excited about their project, both the light-duty truck conversions and the heavy-duty EV trucks, and agree with what you’re saying about the company, so don’t take this as criticism of Edison or their work.
