A system designed to retrofit existing, typically gasoline-powered, vehicles with electric drivetrains. These kits generally include essential components such as an electric motor, battery pack, control system, and necessary wiring. For example, a classic station wagon could be modified by removing its internal combustion engine and replacing it with the components included in this type of product.
This electrification approach offers several advantages, including reducing reliance on fossil fuels and lowering emissions. It allows owners of older vehicles to modernize their cars and contribute to a more sustainable transportation future. Historically, these systems have been developed by independent manufacturers and hobbyists seeking to adapt existing vehicles to electric power, thereby extending the vehicle’s lifespan while minimizing environmental impact.
