What drives the cost
- Battery capacity and source. New modules cost roughly twice as much per kWh as tested salvage modules.
- Motor output. Higher output drive units cost more and often require brake and suspension upgrades.
- Fabrication. Designing mounts from scratch adds 40 to 80 hours. A Fitment Pack removes most of that.
- Supporting systems. Charger, DC to DC converter, cooling, vacuum or electro hydraulic brakes, and heating.
Frequently asked questions
What is the cheapest way to convert a Bronco to electric?
Use tested salvage modules, a smaller pack near the low end of the 130 mile band, and a verified Fitment Pack to minimize fabrication hours.
How many labor hours does a Bronco conversion take?
Shops using the RESTOVOLT pack report 180 to 280 hours.
Can an electric Bronco keep four wheel drive?
Yes. The Fitment Pack adapter mates the motor to the factory transfer case so high and low range both work.
Is an electric Bronco waterproof enough for trails?
Enclosures are designed for IP67 sealing with high mounted vents. Water crossing depth should still be limited to the published spec in the pack.
