British EV technology company Electrogenic, known for its classic car EV conversions, has expanded its range of ‘drop-in’ conversion kits to electrify the classic Mini.
The small kit has been designed to deliver superb performance — mirroring the nippy, responsive character of the original car. It’s completely pre-assembled and pretested on a replacement heritage front subframe that replaces the old one with its petrol engine.
Powered by 20kWh batteries, also pre-mounted on the subframe and all wired in, the electrified Mini has a 128km driving range, making it perfect for city driving conditions. The euro type 2 charge port is also pre-mounted and can be accessed via a range of bespoke replacement front grilles.
Electrogenic will also offer an extended range option, with an additional battery pack integrated into the boot — ideal for those who want to travel a little further.
“It turns the iconic classic Mini into an ideal modern city machine, one that’s perfect for zipping about town cleanly and reliably — and sure to bring a smile to the faces of drivers and pedestrians alike,” says Steve Drummond, co-founder of Electrogenic.
The company also offers systems for the Land Rover Defender, Jaguar E-Type, classic Porsche 911 and Triumph Stag. The Mini kit will be offered from 2023.
