Since our 62 years old "patient" doesn't exactly boast an abundance of space either under the hood or in the cabin, i had to take a creative approach to this project in order to fit all the new technology.
The battery pack for this specific car was placed diagonally under the hood.
Why is that? Since the battery pack wouldn't fit under the hood straight or crosswise, the best option to maintain an even weight distribution was to design it to sit diagonally. The advantage of this in very tight spaces is that this layout creates two free areas to fit the controller, battery charger, DC/DC converter, A/C compressor, and A/C condenser, in addition to the battery pack and motor.
Oh, did I forget to mention that this 1964 Taunus will also be getting air conditioning alongside the cabin heater?
Yes, it's true—all to ensure this classic makes for an ideal and comfortable city car, offering a level of comfort that meets modern standards.
