The legendary DeLorean DMC-12 in electric form: new possibilities for a classic

The DeLorean DMC-12, the car that gained iconic status thanks to its role in the film Back to the Future, has now been given a new lease of life thanks to its electric drive. Known for its unusual design and attention to detail, this car has been updated to meet the demands of modernity while preserving its historical heritage.

Thanks to the use of an electric complex, the classic DeLorean now has a more powerful and environmentally friendly engine, which allows it to maintain the unique look of the car and improve its technical characteristics.

For those who already own electric cars or are planning to switch to electric models, we offer the opportunity to purchase home and commercial charging stations in our online storeand use the network of public charging stations ECOFACTOR across Ukraine through our application, available for iOS and Android.

Main characteristics of the electric DeLorean DMC-12

The conversion of the DeLorean DMC-12 to an electric drive has resulted in significant improvements in performance, particularly compared to the original model. The key changes include the installation of a 215 hp (160 kW) electric motor, which allows the car to reach 100 km/h in 5 seconds - much faster than the original version, which took around 10 seconds to do so.

In addition to power, the upgrade has significantly improved the car's dynamics and handling thanks to the instantaneous torque typical of electric motors. Other important characteristics of the electric version of DeLorean:

• Battery capacity: 43 kWh, which provides up to 240 km of range on a single charge.
• Fast charging: Charging from 20% to 80% takes about 40 minutes on a 60 kW charging station.
• Technical innovations: The electric motor generates 65% more power and 50% more torque than the original petrol engine.

These upgrades not only increase performance, but also provide much better environmental friendliness and efficiency, making the electric DeLorean more suitable for everyday use.

The process of refurbishment and preservation of originality

One of the main aspects of this transformation is the preservation of the car's original appearance, which has remained iconic for more than 40 years. The upgrade requires replacing only the powertrain, which makes it possible to preserve the entire DeLorean identity.

The exterior of the car does not change, and even interior elements such as plastic and leather remain in their original form, preserving the same atmosphere that many generations of motorists have come to appreciate. All changes are made without the need to modify the chassis or other parts of the car, which is important for collectors.

Driving dynamics and experience

With the new electric drive system, DeLorean has gained a significant boost in dynamics. The car now responds much more quickly to accelerator presses thanks to the instantaneous torque inherent in electric motors. In Sport mode, the car can reach 100 km/h in 5 seconds, making it one of the most dynamic classic cars on the road.

However, while the classic suspension and handling characteristics have been retained, the original driving style has not changed. Of course, for classic car enthusiasts, it is important to preserve the feel of an old DeLorean, and this is exactly what Electrogenic has retained during the upgrade.

Conclusion.

The conversion of the DeLorean DMC-12 to an electric drive is a practical modernisation of a classic car for use in modern conditions. The conversion includes the installation of a 215 hp electric motor, which provides a significant improvement in dynamics: acceleration to 100 km/h in 5 seconds instead of 10 seconds for the original model. In addition, the electric motor provides instant torque, making driving more comfortable and predictable.

The modernisation preserves the original look and design of the car, which is important for those who appreciate classic design. At the same time, the electric DeLorean is a more efficient and environmentally friendly option, in particular due to the absence of exhaust gases and reduced maintenance requirements associated with an internal combustion engine. This project demonstrates how classic cars can be adapted to new technologies without losing their original appearance and functionality.
