In the video I will introduce you to this Reliant Scimitar Electric Conversion

The car is a 1977 Reliant Scimitar GTE with a 3 litre V6 – The Essex V6 that was also used in a number of Ford vehicles including the Granada, Capri & Transit. For this electric conversion it was decided to use the complete system from a Nissan leaf to convert the car to electric.

The concept for this vehicle was to give it similar performance to the original engine whilst [...]

As electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming more popular and efficient, many classic car enthusiasts are considering converting their vehicles to electric. Car conversions are not a new idea, but the concept of converting classic cars to electric is still at an embryonic stage. While some might argue that a classic car should retain its originality, the benefits of conversion outweigh the cons. Here are some reasons why you should convert your classic car to electric.

Eco-Friendly

Switching to electric power will make your classic car eco-friendlier and greatly reduce your carbon footprint.

From April 28th to May 1st we were at Fully Charged Live UK in Farnborough. We met loads and loads of you, it was great, thanks for coming to say hello.

For those you that didn’t make it we have made a video so you can see what it was all about.

We have just received 2 Nissan eNV200 electric vans and they are both fantastic.

They both have a host of extras fitted above the already great standard specification including a diesel Sebastopol heater which increase range dramatically in cold weather.

Both are great vans for businesses that can operate with their approx 80mile range but would also make a great base for a camper van conversion.

The car is getting an 80kw Motor from a leaf along with 16 battery modules from a 30kWh leaf giving it approx 20kWh’s of battery storage.

Here is our first update video on the project
