Electric car conversions - ICE to EV
We convert classic cars to electric drive
The EVolution team are leading Australia's electric classic car conversion sector, specialising in the commercial and repeatable creation of high-quality bespoke electric cars.


Have you ever dreamt about fast, smooth and silent driving in your own bespoke, converted classic electric car?
The cool and luxurious cars of our childhood that were loved and admired way back when, are now often dumped and discarded.
We wanted to focus on classic vehicles that have been gently rusting for too long, clean up, convert and drive them around the streets of Melbourne once again.
Electric classic car conversions (or ICE to EV) by our team of experts are completely bespoke...no two vehicles are the same.
A range of skills and experience has led us to a conversion focus on:

Single vehicles for private clients

E-mobility consulting and conversion of specialist vehicles

Corporate fleet, promo or showcase vehicles

Products, support and education for DIY EV conversion projects
Which car can we convert to electric for you?
We love to talk about EV conversions...what's not to love about the personality and character of a classic car combined with the smooth ride of an electric drive train?
Our Electric Car Cafe team can convert any make and model vehicle of any age, but have experience and specialise in Land Rovers, Range Rover, LandCruiser, Audi and Volkswagen chassis.
Have you visited the Electric Car Cafe & EV Alliance websites?

How long does an EV conversion take?
The conversion process can take anything from a few weeks to a few months, depending on the type of vehicle, research and development timeand the complexity of the conversion.
We can convert any make and model vehicle of any age. Our most recent bespoke conversion work has been on Land Rovers, Range Rover, Audi and Volkswagen chassis.
How do EV conversions work?
Each project is different, but your EV conversion will look something like this:

Choose your vehicle
Something unique that will be worth more as an electric vehicle than it does now

Source EV components
What battery capacity and range would you like in your new EV?

Restore & RWC
A clean up and roadworthy now creates a smoother on-roading process once converted

Measure, measure
Work out where electric drive components fit and how to protect them

ICE components
Take out everything that will no longer be needed for ICE operation

Test, trial, refine
While the first drive in a converted EV is exciting, there are always tweaks and refinements to do
