Bringing Classic Cars Back to the Future - Matt White | Ampere EV

If you are a grassroots motorsports enthusiast, then you’ve heard of the 24 Hours of Lemons. But did you know that in 2020 the director of Lemons offered a million nickels to anyone who could complete the event in an electric vehicle? Unbeknownst to co-founders Matt White and Blakely Fabiani who teamed up to go after those nickels, that challenge would become the impetus for the birth of Ampere EV.
Throughout his career Matt has always been involved in car culture which has culminated in racing with friends at Atlanta Motorsports Park where Matt is a part owner of Primal Racing Group. Matt’s childhood dream was to race cars and his passion was to develop an electric vehicle “for the people” which has led to his involvement with Ampere EV.
Ampere EV was created to fill the need for a one-stop solution for electrifying a vehicle. After the company founders' experience with electrifying a CRX race car, it became clear that the budding EV conversion market was lacking simplicity, high level engineering, and availability that would be required to move it mainstream. Thus, Ampere EV was born.
Ampere EV’s Atom Drive System features architecture and parts that are engineered, built and tested in house using all new components, allowing us to deliver an EV Conversion System that is more feature packed than the competition for its price. The Atom Drive System was developed by world-class engineers and includes modular battery packs, Level 3 fast charging, a vehicle control unit, and a customizable user interface-all built in-house, pre-configured, and ready to install. The system also includes a high-quality touchscreen user interface with options for controlling functions using tactile switches and legacy display gauges.
ABOUT AMPERE EV
Ampere EV is made up of a team of designers, engineers, and automotive enthusiasts who are bringing OEM-level vehicle integration to the EV conversion market. Ampere EV’s modular approach to the conversion process allows them to design and produce components for series production, rather than being built-to-order. The company’s Atom Drive System offers unparalleled value, integration ease, and engineering features.

Thats a great story~! We think alike Kudos~! (* if im the smartest one in the room -then were in big trouble~!) I have been seriously thinking about converting one of my Lotus Esprit's to electric, since it is the parts car for the other 3.. I figure, there are only 1000 electric esprit "plug in & drive", kit buyers, since the production run was less than 10,000 cars. Id like to bolt in a kit that has "pep" & re-gen, but leaves the car at the same weight.. (*performance over range )

The great thing about our Atom Drive electric powertrain is that all of configuration is done. There is no need to source components. We supply the motor/inverter (you select from our supported list to fit your driveline configuration), the DC-DC converter, the High Voltage Junction Box, the the high voltage wiring (we'll even make it to spec lengths and fully terminate it), and the low voltage wiring (ready to install and terminated as an option). The VCU programming is complete and vetted, the battery management system is integrated, the touchscreen interface is included (along with Navigation and CarPlay/Android connectivity), and you can add features that would otherwise take time not simply to source, but to program into the VCU for operation like AC/cabin heat, and even CCS fast charging.
