ELECTRIFIED CLASSIC VEHICLES
Got a classic Volkswagen Beetle, Bus, Ghia, or Thing you’re considering converting to electric? EV Works is the place to do it.
EV Fun Facts
FOSSIL FUEL FREE
A typical passenger vehicle emits about 4.6 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year. EVs are better for the planet and your wallet.
QUIETER
EVs are 2-4 dB less noisy than internal combustion engines (ICEs) at low speed. That’s a lot.
MORE RELIABLE
EVs have far fewer parts than ICEs, which translates to greater reliability.
SIMPLER
The drivetrain in a conventional vehicle may contain 2,000+ moving parts, compared to 20 in an EV. Fewer moving parts mean less maintenance.
CHEAPER
Owning an EV can save upwards of $1,900 annually on fuel and maintenance. Imagine, no more oil changes.
CLEANER
Most EVs get power from the grid. Even so, they produce 33% fewer emissions than ICEs.
MORE REASONS TO GO ELECTRIC
EMISSION CONTROL
Your beloved classic was likely built before effective vehicle emission controls were in place—which makes conversion even more impactful. Your vehicle will not only run better and at a lower cost, but it will also no longer spew toxins into the environment.
FUN!
Converting your classic vehicle to electric will make it more reliable, cost-effective, and eco-friendly. But it will also make it fun as heck to drive. It’s hard to grasp just how great it feels to drive an electric-powered classic until you try it.
COSTS TO CONVERT
EV Works never compromises on quality. Therefore, electric vehicle conversions are a balance of performance, range, and cost. For the most basic conversion assume a cost of around $50,000. But don’t get your hopes up – most conversions are not “basic”.
On top of the EV conversion costs, one will need to add in other aspects of the project such as body and paint, interior trim, mechanical repairs, or the 12-volt system. Your “Barn Find” may be ready for an electric transplant, but many sleeping beauties need a lot of additional work.
