Another gorgeous conversion, a mate had a Karmann Ghia years ago and it was a lovely car but so slow. This looks amazing, love the colour too.

[@ElectrogenicREV]

Thanks - and yes, much faster now!

Esta es la mejor conversion que he visto hasta ahora de este modelo de carro, La mayoria de las conversiones electricas que he visto no dejan espacio para equipaje porque normalmente ocupan toda la parte trasera para el motor y la delantera para las baterias. El hecho de que en esta conversion se deja la parte trasera practicamente libre para equipaje es realmente sobresaliente. Indudablemente la mejor conversion.

Its looks more orange in the flesh 🍊, perhaps the camera. Lovely car! 💪⚡👍

[@ElectrogenicREV]

Yeah, it does and thanks!

A couple years ago I bought a Jaguar I-Pace and I would do anything and pay anything to have that EV technology in my '69 VW Karmann Ghia convertible.....if not for the speed, just so I can hear the stereo and be able to talk on the phone! Well done job guys, now make a plug & play version and send me an invoice!

[@ElectrogenicREV]

We hear you! Watch this space.....;)

Solves ALL the limitations of the original.

I saved a 69 Ghia from the crusher. Would love to some day go electric to keep it on the road for ever. But for now I need to get it running 👍

[@ElectrogenicREV]

Great that you saved it. Let us know when you're ready to go electric!

[@kavanghia6908]

Great video

Muito lindo demais

[@AdamsHillGal]

wonderful. I adore Karmann Ghias and always have; would love to have an electric one. I live in California (LA) and wonder if anyone has recommendations on a good source?

We have an installation partner near to you. Drop us an email to [e-mail] and we will put you in contact. Thanks!

What motor/controller setup are you using? Im using two stacked AC-35 with two 144v controllers. I will be using Nissan Leaf Modules. It will be a toss up between another Ghia or a Type3 Fastback. Either way a dual motor setup. I like how you did the rear luggage area. Excellent idea if you use a single motor.

Putting each microphone on his own channel is a very bad idea. This makes watching the video wearing headphones an awfully experience. Nice content anyway.

[@ElectrogenicREV]

Thanks for letting us know - we'll get that sorted out for the next video.

Camera crew good. Sound guy bad.
