SEMA 2025 - ELKINGTON MOTORS EV CONVERSIONS

EV Channels Review

This video showcases Elkington Motors' innovative approach to EV conversions, focusing on their custom chassis solutions for classic ICE vehicles. The presentation highlights the growing aftermarket EV market and Elkington's strategy to simplify the conversion process for builders. Key advantages include reduced build times compared to traditional methods, modular chassis designs accommodating various body types (around 29 mentioned), and the provision of all necessary components for a complete EV powertrain. The reviewer emphasizes the speed of integration, citing an example where a chassis was fitted to a body and tested on the same day. While specific trim levels like 'Performance' are mentioned for a Mustang build, offering around 500 horsepower, dual motors, and a 220-mile range, the video primarily focuses on the conversion platform rather than a specific production model. The reviewer notes that while the floor may need raising for battery placement, the overall integration maintains the original car's aesthetic, with updated digital instrumentation replacing traditional gauges. The solution aims to empower builders and buyers seeking customized, premium EV conversions without the extensive overhead of in-house development.
