Next step: Mr. Fusion

[@zeron3699]

Need to add a pedestrian warning sound like other EVs, but make it the sound from the 2nd BTTF movie.

[@andypcguy1]

This is awesome 👌 Another platform ripe for repower would be the Mazda RX7 and RX8. Really nice job guys.

[@matthewbell6389]

Very cool. Well done guys

[@ElectrogenicREV]

Thanks! One of our all-time favourite conversions so far! More coming very soon....

[@AlpinestarsR6]

Simply incredible!

[@ElectrogenicREV]

Thanks!

[@keyalpha1]

Damn, I want one.

[@ElectrogenicREV]

We do too....

[@iandavidson99]

Love it!

[@josephebrahmian1256]

very nice. do you also replace the steering system with EPS also the HVAC system also replaced with electric ?

[@ElectrogenicREV]

It is the original steering system. The HVAC system is electric (both heating and A/C)

[@edwardszane]

Awesome, so are you offering fully built versions for sale?

[@ElectrogenicREV]

Thanks! We are offering drop-in conversion kits for our partner installer network to install. Available worldwide.

I'm a gear head, so, I dig anything that can make one of these old turds go better than the wheezing V6 that came as factory stock! To me, that was the biggest let down with these when new, was the lack of power, especially in such a hyoed up car! Otherwise, they were so much different to what was on the market, it seemed they would have been a bigger success if only they had put a good engine in them. Anything but that Peugeot boat anchor thing.

[@ElectrogenicREV]

It is a big improvement! And the drive is awesome - it now has the performance to match it's looks.

[@mrflippant]

I read recently that the plan was to eventually move to a twin-turbo version of the Peugeot Renault Volvo V6; that would have been more like it.

[@hugejohnson5011]

@@mrflippant The aspect that was so maddening back in the day was that they could have chosen any number of powerplants with some actual power, and, they didn't! Shame that, because I always thought that they were fairly cool cars other than the wheezer engine.

[@Rob-eg8qc]

​@@hugejohnson5011Originally at first a V8 engine was supposed to be fitted, when customers found that out many cancelled their orders.

[@hugejohnson5011]

@@Rob-eg8qc I remember. I was an avid automobile fan even back then, and I do remember the fervor in the auto press regarding such. Imagine how cool that car could have been with a small, smooth V8? One wonders who could have supplied something already available back then. Most American V8 engines were rather heavy, and anything else would have been a Ferrari, or Heaven save us, the Rover, which was the old Buick 215! Actually not a bad engine though.

[@c.a.nixiii4650]

Work on getting it to generate 1.21 Gigawatts please!

[@ChibiabosWolf]

Must pronounce it as "jiggawatts" tho ^^

[@SHOdown13]

Not that it was possible in the early 80s, but this is how the car should have always been... after staring in the movies. It just seems more appropriate. Especially now that the Cyberturd is out.

[@sharko121]

It's the cyber car.

[@bdauphinee81]

I want one. How much

[@ElectrogenicREV]

Drop us an email to [e-mail] and we will send you the details

[@Defender_Tom]

Great kit, but at $85-$100k, not many will be sold, especially in America where most DeLoreans still reside. Only 42 kWh, no NACS port, and air conditioning is an optional upgrade...I hope the price at least includes labor, but I'm going to guess, no.

[@ElectrogenicREV]

Yes, this is a premium product, designed specifically for the DeLorean and tuned to turn it into a true sports car. NACS ports will be added as they become more readily available - we anticipate 2025, alongside BMW, Lotus, Polestar, etc. The CCS charge port currently fitted is fully compatible with commercial NACS adapters. We kept the weight of the car unchanged from the original, because we wanted to liberate the Lotus-designed handling and we didn’t want to bleed away all that power and torque on extra batteries. We have turned a stately old lady into a beast that strains at the leash and corners like it’s on rails - and we like it like that. The range is a real-world 150 miles and you can recharge in under an hour. The price includes fitting: nurse your asthmatic petrol cruiser in, and race your reborn DeLorean sports car out of the shop, all inclusive. The key to this conversion is the awesome drive - after all this time, a DeLorean with the performance and handling to match its street presence. Drive it - you won’t be disappointed.

[@mrflippant]

@@ElectrogenicREV Once it's available with an NACS charge port, what sort of charging rate will it be able to achieve from an actual Tesla Supercharger?

[@itypethetruthnobshere8975]

Not worth it at all. 100k when you could just get a brand new lucid or Tesla. With modern tech

[@twelvebears1971]

Which is completely missing a point. 100k won’t get you a Lucid and no one looks twice at a Tesla.

[@guestc142]

​@@twelvebears1971if you're going for locked down hardware, why not have it built for you?

[@mystisith3984]

Missing the point. It's a timeless collectible, like a Merc 300 SL. A monument of automotive industry. The price for a barn DeLorean in good condition is 70K$ & steadily going up year after year. People who buy one will keep it for life (& will upgrade the🔋+ electronics 15 years from now when better stuf is available).

[@itypethetruthnobshere8975]

@@twelvebears1971 what are you talking about a lucid starts at 70k. And tesla are now affordable which is why everyone has one now.

[@GamezGuru1]

@@twelvebears1971 I beg to differ - everybody still looks at my Model S, and it's insane how cheap you can get Lucids now...

[@koenig-gaming]

Now, an legendary car is neutered.

[@mystisith3984]

Nonsense. The original ICE is dreadful & NOBODY buys a DeLorean for its engine or the sound. This small coupé was made to be electrified. Just hoping that the cost of conversion will go down because it's a bit spicy now.

[@c.a.nixiii4650]

Nope. Perfect car for this. The ICE and trans was just terrible and unreliable.

[@keyalpha1]

I disagree. This makes it better. Quite possibly only EV I'd be interested in.

[@mikepage9520]

Everyone stop, the only cool delorean was the one driven by marty mcfly, the rest are a pile of shit no matter what you do to them

[@playerroku4412]

The people who buy these aka who have the money, aren't concerned. You, who can not afford one, is for some reason concerned.

[@mystisith3984]

The hundreds of afficionados who daily drive them & gather together on WE will have a different opinion. When whole businesses exist, successfully, to keep a single model alive, it's not in a vacuum.
