Electrogenic turns DeLorean DMC-12 into an EV

Electrogenic turns the DMC-12 into an electric car that is supposed to reach a "real" 150 miles, which is roughly 240 kilometers. It delivers 160 kW (218 hp) and has a compact 37-kWh battery on board. With CCS, it should be possible to charge it in under an hour, indicating top charging performances of 50 kW.

The kit comes "all in" with a cooling system and linkage to the brakes and suspension and is supposed to be offered by Electrogenic International through a network of "approved installers", many of whom are based in the USA, unfortunately. They also set the price. 

The DeLorean EV conversion kit, which is fully reversible, uses Electrogenic's proprietary, market-leading EV drive technology. Steve Drummond, CEO of Electrogenic, stated:

"Since Electrogenic's founding in 2018, we have seen great worldwide interest in the prospect of a DeLorean EV conversion. With its sci-fi design – still stunning even after over 40 years – and an inadequate engine, it is truly the perfect candidate for an electric conversion. We are now excited to introduce our 'plug-and-play' conversion kit to the world. Developed entirely in-house with our proprietary technology, it gives the DMC-12 the sporty performance that its futuristic shape has always deserved."

The DeLorean package is the latest addition to Electrogenic's rapidly growing range of 'plug-and-play' EV conversion kits, which already includes options for the Land Rover Defender, Jaguar E-Type, classic Mini, and Porsche 911. For the former, there are also kits for military use, indicating a certain level of expertise from the Brits.
