Frequently asked questions
The cost of converting a classic car to electric can vary widely depending on the type and condition of the vehicle, as well as the components used in the conversion. A ballpark estimate for a basic conversion can be around €15.000 to €30.000, but it can go much higher for more advanced conversions with longer range and higher performance.
The conversion process can take several weeks to several months depending on the complexity of the project and the availability of parts and resources.
The range of an electric classic car can vary depending on the battery size and type, as well as the driving conditions. Generally, a range of 160-320 kilometer on a single charge is achievable for most conversions.
Any classic car can technically be converted to electric, but some models may be easier to work with than others.
Depending on the vehicle, some modifications to the chassis and suspension may be required to accommodate the electric drivetrain and battery pack, but during the intake proces we will determine if this is necessary.
