Having seen many scenarios where ICE cars are preserved or even resurrected by means of electric conversion , it ’ s about time we think about its applications across industries where switching to EVs is becoming the next big step .
From the development of an electrified Aston Martin DB6 by Lunaz Design , to now welcoming businesses into the arena that deals with conversions and even offers full kits for swapping out fossil-fuel power for all-electric – this is what sparked a need to cover ICE to EV conversion , as well as its applications among large vehicle fleets and operations .
“ The conversion of fleet and logistics vehicles to electric power presents numerous applications and benefits in transportation and logistics ,” says Chris Hazell , Co-Founder and CEO at Fellten — an organisation developing kits to convert classic cars from ICE to electric .
“ The potential applications are vast , focusing on light to medium-duty pickup trucks and utility vehicles , ranging from urban and last-mile delivery to large infrastructure industries ( tunnel building , mining , etc .).”
IT ALL COMES DOWN TO COST
Of course , converting a fleet of vehicles would be a major adaptation in itself , but the cost of doing so may outweigh that
