The weight calculation
Was fliegt raus: 330 kg Diesel
| Bauteil | Weight |
|---|---|
| 2.0 TDI Motor | 165 kg |
| Transmission | 70 kg |
| Auspuffanlage | 35 kg |
| Restsystem | 60 kg |
| Gesamt raus | 330 kg |
Was kommt rein: 730 kg ESDI EV-Kit
| Bauteil | Weight |
|---|---|
| MEB 82 kWh battery | 600 kg |
| Tesla Model 3 Motor | 80 kg |
| ESDI-Komponenten | 50 kg |
| Gesamt rein | 730 kg |
Ergebnis: 2.285 kg
T5 Leergewicht 1.885 kg – 330 kg + 730 kg = 2.285 kg. The ID. Buzz Freestyle weighs 2,400 kg, the Pro ~2,500 kg. Despite 82 kWh, the ESDI T5 is lighter than the ID. Buzz.

TÜV-Prozess: Einzelabnahme nach § 21 StVZO
Every ESDI conversion is presented to the TÜV as an individual approval. Scope of inspection: electrical safety, mechanical integration, chassis tuning, EMC. The TÜV support is included in the kit price. After approval: E registration.
Reversibilität
The ESDI conversion is designed so that it can theoretically be dismantled. No welding work on the body. Motor and battery mounted via adapters and brackets.
Technical data: ESDI EV Technologies, as of 03/2026. Consumption values calculated based on physics, not WLTP-certified.
