Conversions

Detroit EV converts gas vehicles to electric. We convert customer's vehicles as well as our vehicles for re-sale. Recent conversions are a 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser and a 2003 Chevy S10. Photos will be posted in the near future.

Detroit EV uses high performance motors, controllers and chargers the three largest components of a conversion, besides batteries. Many batteries options are available, including Lithium, NiMH, Sealed and Flooded Lead batteries.

DC systems are most common for conversions. A high performance DC system would include a WarP motor, a Zilla controller, and Manzanita Micro Charger.

AC systems are more OEM in design and offer regenerative braking and more programmable features.

Alternatively, Detroit EV can provide advice to you on your conversion. Contact us early to help plan your project and keep your conversion on schedule.
