This is an industry that promises to play a major role in accelerating the transition to electromobility. At the right scale and when applied to the right segments best fit for the target markets, what was once a niche product for collectors’ items such as restored classic cars and a badge of honor for a merry band of hobbyists could be a game changer. EV conversions will allow a broader consumer base to afford decent electric vehicles.
The transition to electromotility is happening much faster than we thought. Affordable mass EV conversions will put this transition into Ludicrous mode. A French EV conversion firm, Phoenix Mobility, is looking to scale up its B2B fleet conversion business.
The new regulation is a game changer. France was a country with a lot of constraints for retrofit. “We needed to have the OEM agreement to retrofit a car. This has changed in April 2020. Now we can homologate our own vehicles in series. It completely liberalized French market and made it the best place in Europe to launch a retrofit company.”
It takes 3 – 5 days to do a conversion at the moment.
We just love hearing about EV conversions. This is an industry that promises to play a major role in accelerating the transition to electromobility. At the right scale and when applied to the right segments best fit for the target markets, what was once a niche product for collectors’ items such as restored classic cars and a badge of honor for a merry band of hobbyists could be a game changer.
