American Company Turns Ford Vehicle Into Electric Car. The Project Indicates a Trend for the Coming Years

An innovative company based in California recently published stunning images online of a bold Ford Bronco project that promises to revolutionize the way we view classic vehicle conversions.

EV Zero Labs, specializing in automotive electrification technologies, presented a highly advanced platform capable of transforming traditional gasoline or diesel cars into fully electric vehicles with a modern look — all in an astonishing turnaround time of just 24 hours.

EV Zero Labs is a design, technology, and engineering company located in Southern California. It aims to innovate in the market by adapting classic cars to become electric vehicles, eliminating carbon emissions and keeping them in motion for the coming decades.

The technique is very welcome, as some countries are already setting deadlines to ban gasoline or diesel-powered vehicles. The state of California itself is studying the ban of these vehicles by 2035. Zero Labs hopes to be in demand in the market by helping convert old vehicles into electric cars.

The company then took a 50-year-old, rusty, abandoned Ford Broncos and converted it into an electric vehicle in just 24 hours. Of course, it’s not a complete transformation in 24 hours, but it gives a sense of the company’s marketing to demonstrate the functionality of its platform.

The electrification project of the Ford Broncos required carbon fiber, along with a unique electrification platform from Zero Labs. The company noted that the vehicle was completely rusty and damaged. If a common conversion technology were used, the project would take between 6 months to a year, but it only took 24 hours using the company’s technology. See images below of the completed project.

The company highlights that even with billions invested in electric vehicles, companies combined will only be able to deliver 7.9 million vehicles by 2025, which is far less than the market demands. “Although billions have been invested in innovative clean energy technologies in the next 10, 20, or even 50 years, the total projected volume for new and old manufacturers in 2025 is 7.9 million,” the company emphasizes.

Zero Labs has made its electric vehicle conversion platform simple and updatable. This means that as EV technology evolves, the cars will continue to be updated. Not to mention that older batteries will be recycled, all aimed at minimizing environmental impact.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

A surreal road in southern Brazil cuts through the Serra do Corvo Branco, revealing mountains that resemble pyramids, cliffs used in commercials, and a Santa Catarina village marked by a sad history before the access was fully paved.

Webb found a cradle of planets 5,550 light-years away where water almost disappears, and the disk around the star XUE 10 has CO₂ in regions where rocky worlds like Earth should be born, revealing a planetary chemistry very different from that which formed our Solar System.

Couple transforms abandoned land in Portugal, moves a 6-ton tiny house, hides a container on the slope, and builds a 50 m² deck in two days while advancing on the main house surrounded by glass and nature.

Giant trucks with no one in the cabin have already moved more than 8.6 billion tons of rock and ore around the world, equivalent to more than a thousand Great Pyramids, all without a single recorded injury.

An “invisible” plant can transform rivers meeting the sea into electricity 24 hours a day: French startup uses nanotechnology to extract energy from the salt difference between fresh and saltwater, without sun, wind, dam, or fuel.

While Brazil sits on the pre-salt and still imports diesel, Turkey, which produces almost no oil, crossed half the world to drill 7,500 meters below the sea in Somalia in search of its own fuel.

Scientists develop a low-cost alternative to generate green hydrogen on a large scale using an innovative chemical process; discovery could revolutionize energy infrastructure, heavy industry, and sustainable transportation systems around the world.
