Electric Vehicle (EV) Conversion FAQ
We specialize in EV conversions for classic and vintage cars, particularly vehicles with simpler electronics. Some favourites include Land Rover Defenders, classic Porsches, 1985 Jaguar XJs, and vintage VW vans. If it runs on gas and has character, we can likely convert it to electric.
Converting a gas-powered vehicle to electric gives you the best of both worlds: timeless automotive style and modern electric performance. You’ll enjoy a quieter ride, lower emissions, fewer maintenance issues, and no more gas bills. It’s also a sustainable way to keep driving your favourite vintage car well into the future.
Each custom EV build typically takes 3 to 6 months, depending on the vehicle’s condition, the complexity of the conversion, and the type of electric system being installed.
A standard electric vehicle conversion includes:
- Removal of the internal combustion engine
- Installation of an electric motor and custom-fit battery pack
- New wiring, control systems, and safety features
- Range optimization and road testing
We tailor every conversion to match your vehicle, your driving needs, and your goals.
