What is an electric vehicle (EV) conversion?
An EV conversion is the process of converting a conventional petrol or diesel powered vehicle into an electric vehicle by replacing its internal combustion engine and associated components with an electric motor and battery pack.
Why should I consider converting my vehicle to electric?
There are many reasons why someone might choose to convert their vehicle to electric, including reducing their carbon footprint, reducing fuel costs, and increasing the longevity and reliability of their vehicle.
What vehicles can be converted to electric?
In theory, almost any vehicle can be converted to electric. However, some models are more suitable for conversion than others. Popular models for conversion include classic cars like the VW Kombi or Landrover.
How much does an EV conversion cost?
The cost of an EV conversion can vary widely depending on the make and model of the vehicle, the type and size of the battery pack, and the specific components used.
How long does an EV conversion take?
The length of time it takes to complete an EV conversion depends on the complexity of the conversion, the availability of parts and components. In general, a conversion can take anywhere from several weeks to several months to complete.
What kind of maintenance is required for an electric vehicle?
Electric vehicles require much less maintenance than gasoline-powered vehicles, as they have fewer moving parts and require no oil changes or tune-ups. However, the battery pack does require periodic maintenance, and the motor and drivetrain should be inspected regularly.
