The world of classic cars is changing, and an exciting wave of innovation is redefining what it means to drive a timeless icon. At the forefront of this change is Electrogenic, an EV conversion specialist that is a world leader in electric vehicle powertrain solutions. This British company is not only revolutionizing the field with its cutting-edge technology, it is also expanding its global reach. With new partners in New Zealand and the UK, Electrogenic is making its transformative technology more accessible than ever, allowing more enthusiasts to experience classic cars with a modern, clean, and reliable electric drive.
The Power of Electrogenic’s Technology
Electrogenic’s success is built on its innovative EV powertrain solutions, which are now available through an expanding global network. The company offers a range of award-winning electric conversion products. Among these are its popular ‘drop-in’ conversion kits. These proprietary hardware and software packages convert iconic internal combustion vehicles into efficient electric cars. Options are available for popular models like the Land Rover Defender, DeLorean DMC-12, and Jaguar E-type. The brand is also well-known for its bespoke EV conversions and solutions developed for original equipment manufacturers. This strategic expansion proves their growing international demand.
A Global Network of Expert Installers
Electrogenic’s expanding network is a testament to its commitment to quality. The roster of vetted and intensively trained partners now includes Franklin Motor Company in New Zealand. Additionally, the UK network grows with the addition of Four Paw Racing of Cambridgeshire and English Electric Vehicles based in Silverstone. These new partners join an already robust roster that spans North America, Australia, and Europe. This growth means that more customers can access Electrogenic’s transformative EV technology locally. The partners also provide top-tier restoration expertise.
Steve Drummond, Electrogenic’s co-founder, expresses his delight about the expansion. He explains that these partners share the company’s vision and enthusiasm for the possibilities of electrification. The company is very proud of its network. It has worked tirelessly to develop this carefully cultivated roster of world-class partners. The network will continue to grow in the coming months.
Electrogenic’s Seamless ‘Drop-In’ Kits
A key aspect of Electrogenic’s drop-in kits is their unique design. They are made to fit perfectly into the existing architecture of a classic vehicle. This means no cutting or drilling to the original car is necessary. Thanks to Electrogenic’s extensive research and development work, the plug-and-play kits can be quickly installed. The kits are also fully reversible. This allows the car to be returned to its original specification in the future if desired.
The kits incorporate Electrogenic’s cutting-edge, proprietary EV technology. This innovation has fueled the company’s rapid growth. It makes the technology accessible to a growing international market. The drop-in kits offer EV powertrain options for a series of popular models. These include the original Mini, classic Porsche 911, Land Rover Defender and Series models, DeLorean DMC-12, Jaguar E-Type (XKE), and Mazda MX-5 (Miata).
In-House British Engineering and Innovation
All of Electrogenic’s drop-in kits are defined by their quality and engineering depth. The kits are developed in-house by a team of automotive engineers, programmers, and electrical experts. The company manufactures its own technology. This includes in-house vehicle control software and microprocessor design for driver interface. It also includes digital dashboards. Driver controls receive careful attention, with Sport, Eco, and Traffic modes. A regenerative braking-based hill-descent control function is a key feature for the Defender.
The cleverly packaged drop-in kits use highly innovative mechanical componentry. This includes a unique system for creating high-density battery packs. There are also compact in-line and transverse reduction gearboxes. All of this is manufactured by Electrogenic in the UK. The neat packaging ensures that the vehicles’ existing structure is preserved. All kits drive through single-speed, fixed-ratio transmissions. They also feature 6.6kW AC charging and CCS rapid charging for total convenience.
The New Partners: Expertise Across the Globe
The new partners each bring a unique area of expertise to the Electrogenic network. Franklin Motor Company of New Zealand is an internationally recognized Land Rover marque expert. Its goal is to keep the Land Rover alive. Its experienced team can install the full range of Electrogenic’s Defender and Series kits. In the UK, English Electric Vehicles is based in Silverstone. This highly experienced team transforms classic cars into emission-free creations. Four Paw Racing in Cambridgeshire focuses on performance vehicles.
