Transforming Internal Combustion Cars into Electric Roadsters – The Future of Mobility
As the world accelerates toward electrification, the idea of converting a legacy internal-combustion engine (ICE) vehicle into an electric-drive machine is no longer niche—it’s practical, meaningful and increasingly viable. At CMVTE, we’re excited to share how our ICE-to-EV conversion kits can bring new life to your car, blending sustainability, performance, and control.
Why convert an ICE car to EV?
There are strong motivations driving this trend:
- Legacy vehicles you care about—whether a classic, a commuter or a light commercial—can be given a second life as a zero-tail-pipe-emission machine. As Envoy There notes, converting can turn “a gas-guzzling, inefficient and/or unreliable car into a fun, maintenance-free automobile.” (Envoy)
- Running costs drop. Electricity is cheaper (in many markets) than petrol or diesel; maintenance drops as you remove engine, exhaust, fuel system, etc. (Envoy)
- Performance benefits: Electric motors deliver instant torque, simplified drive trains, fewer moving parts. The same article emphasises the “immediate torque” and “smiles per mile” appeal. (Envoy)
- Sustainability. It aligns with the shift to lower-carbon transport, reuse of existing vehicle shells rather than full new builds.
Our ICE-to-EV Conversion Kit – What We Offer
At Green Motor Tech we provide a modular kit designed to suit a broad range of donor vehicles (cars, light trucks, utility vehicles). Key components include:
- A high-efficiency electric motor matched to the original drivetrain (manual or automatic)
- A high-voltage battery pack (custom sized for vehicle and range requirements)
- A motor controller/inverter, wiring loom, battery management system (BMS)
- Adapters and mounting brackets for integration into the donor vehicle’s chassis and transmission
- Interface with existing instrumentation (speedo, gear status, indicators), so the original dash remains functional
- Support for 12-72 V auxiliary systems (lighting, accessories) to match your workshop infrastructure.
Installation Steps (Overview)
- Remove ICE components: engine, fuel tank, exhaust, radiator, starter motor, etc. (Envoy)
- Fit the electric motor and coupling/adaptor plate to the gearbox (or direct-drive as applicable).
- Install the battery pack, mount the inverter/controller, run wiring loom.
- Connect auxiliary systems: power steering, HVAC, lighting, instrumentation.
- Commission the system, calibrate BMS, test for safety, compliance and roadworthiness.
Custom vs Universal Kit Options
We offer two approaches:
- Custom kits: engineered for a specific model of car, with tailored mounting, cooling, harnessing. Higher cost but faster integration. (Envoy There mentions this distinction between “custom kits” and “universal kits”.) (Envoy)
- Universal kits: more flexible, build-your-own style, suitable for many donor vehicles but require more adaptation and workshop skill.
Legal and Practical Considerations
Before undertaking a conversion, important to check local road-registration and safety standards. As noted in the article, regulations differ by region (for example in the U.S., state by state) though some jurisdictions are making converted EVs easier to license. (Envoy)
Also consider donor vehicle choice: lighter cars with manual transmissions are simpler conversions. (Envoy)
Budget realistically—not just the kit cost, but labour, custom mounts, wiring, cooling (if needed), certification, registration.
Why Partner with CMVTE?
- We draw on years of motor, control, battery and drivetrain expertise, we started building motors since 1995.
- Our kit is modular and scalable—suitable for your small-batch artisanal EV builds, light-utility conversions, or even full in-workshop retrofits.
- We support you from choice of donor vehicle to kit selection, installation guidance and commissioning.
- With our factory investment and in-house manufacturing of motors, drives, gearboxes and battery packs, you get a truly integrated solution.
The Future is You-Powered
Converting your ICE vehicle into an EV isn’t just a mechanical process—it’s a statement. It’s about keeping what you love (the character of the donor car) while moving into the future with electric drive. With increasing market focus on new EVs, tight supply chains and rising cost of new vehicles, conversions are an intelligent alternative.
Let’s turn your existing vehicle into an EV powerhouse. Contact us at CMVTE and let’s build the future together.
If you like, I can adapt this to your company’s brand voice (Spanish/English or other languages), or tailor it for a specific vehicle type (Fiat 750 conversion, off-road vehicle, etc.). Would you like that?
