This is exactly what id do if i got a DeLorean! Your gonna have to replace the engine why not make it electric.

Converting a Delorean into Electric is my dream vehicle! Awesome job!

looks like what a DeLorean should have always been, very nice.

Well done Mr. Hoffman

Nice to see an electric Delorean. In the early 90s, I used to maintain and repair a DMC12 for a friend. The engine was a pile of rubbish, so converting to electric is about the best thing that could happen to it. We also go the old "it's the flux capacitor mate", when the engine cover was up in the pub carpark, because the rubbish engine refused to start when it was time to go home for the night.

cost for conversion?

for those wondering, the original Delorean engine is a 120HP (its actually 140HP but all of the USA smog crap gimped it) Peugeot-Renailt V6 engine. While its possible, you really don't want to get one of these up to 88MPH.

It’s so clean and beautiful! Congratulations on a job well done.

Awesome coverage

250hp is largely considered the sweet spot for DMC 12, so 260hp/240ftlb is likely almost ideal. 0-60 is likely 5-6 seconds...maybe even in the 4s.... As far as range, 25kw is cool for a fun, around town weekender. No doubt you could add more battery to the "frunk", the rear parcel shelf, and/or transmission tunnel (maybe). It would probably help weight distribution too. You could probably rather easily get her up to 60kw or more. A decent 200-300+ mile range.

Omg i just searched for this cuz i saw a plimouth tesla swap, so i wondered how cool it would be to give a delorean the power he deserves and here it is

should have used the full rear storage and front trunk for batteries and optimized the range.

Nice conversion. They have put the batteries low to maintain good handling, the weight distribution should be ok too. I expect lot of fun to drive. These restomods usually don't have bigger range since it is not easy to fit and you don't need it. Drive the car to a nice place for an hour have lunch enjoy and charge for the way back. That's what it is about. And it is very well made thanks to the possibilities of his business.

Finally an original electric DeLorean that truly lives up to its Futuristic namesake.

Not gonna lie. That's awesome

Gotta give the guy props. I checked out the link you gave and it's nothing more than a picture, too bad no one had any interest in giving the project more web documentation. I did see he also converted a Land Rover to EV also. His hobbies are a nice bonus of having a ... pretty cool successful manufacturing business.

Gotta give him and his company credit for learning how to do the conversion and it looks fantastic . But with its performance, range and charging specs, it would have been more fun to see the parts, fit into a Yugo instead, lol.

Probably the only electric vehicle conversion I've actually liked and agreed with, only thing, he should've gotten more batteries into the damn thing so you could drive it more than 30 measley miles in one direction 😅

Dude so frkn sick!!

Hi Benjamin, Incredible EV conversion! Any chance to ask the owner of this Delorean what bulb he's running in the parking light???? This 5:38 is yet another example of dozens of Deloreans that I see has a photometric flaw & apparently, I'm the ONLY one who can see it, & knows of the exact reason for this original design flaw that will end up becoming highly controversial once or if I decide to inform the Delorean community about. My initial observation was confirmed by visual confirmation of the internal design optics, & then thru original blueprints. Just for the heck of it, I have to run my concerns by senior transportation photometric engineers & a certification lab to show them what I found...... its for this reason, the running/parking lamps are too dim, & can't meet legal minimum luminescence standards of FMVSS 108, & is a safety to all Deloreans for rear lighting conspicuity. Its technical.!!!!!!! Just can't believe they got away with the original design that I think was "Rubber Stamped" , & I'm sure a recall was pending before Delorean went out of business......alot of people were out to make Delorean fail, & this issue would've taken all those cars off the road or forced a cease in sales due to a safety defect. I have some ideas to greatly enhance these tail lights safety, but essentially they are all not SAE/DOT compliant & can never be made and/or would need recertified after certain & multiple modifications. I bet the owner is running one of the many types of non compatible LED's which does not & can not properly emmulate light distribution in addition to this defective design optic. Just very curious on what bulb he is using.......

Perfect.

Wish you moved the battery close to the center of the car to give mid-engined handling characteristics.

For safety I would have placed the rear battery on top of the TESLA drive instead of in the crush zone in the event if the car is rear ended. Other then that it is a clean build.

*dad in bright white new balance* “oh so cammarys aren’t cool? Newsflash buddy, they are”

The Dream of Doc Brown came true to make it electrical to produce 1.21 gigawatts of electricity!

Just read an article past few week of new battery technology. Not knowing anything about EV technology, Is this yet available to the open market, & will it boost power or only range???? - News Release - A research team from the US Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) has developed a sodium-ion battery with greatly extended longevity. The US Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory has developed a lithium-air battery that could significantly increase the range of electric vehicles. A group of researchers at Harvard University's School for Engineering & Applied Sciences (SEAS) has had a breakthrough with the lithium-metal battery tech. They have managed to stabilize the lithium-metal battery and figure out a way to charge and discharge them over 10,000 times - at a high current density.

I'm on the fence of converting my Suzuki Samurai. The DeLorean here has an hour usable range, and four hours to charge to full...a super fun project sure...but I would like a bit more.

But how much cost conversion to flying car..🤔

can you buy one, or where can I get one made, I love the build

Much, much better than it ever was! Good job!

queria ver andando

Can add some modern styled

Yeah... I think I can hear the..whine:)

How much does this cost? If I did it to mine, I'd atleast like a 300 mile range

Could have easily put way more batteries in the engine bay for more range.

70 miles?

Lost me at Flux capacitor is over done

FLUX CAPACITOR GETS OLD HOW DARE YOU

What? Camrys aren’t cool?

I WANT ;_;

but, aren't they reviving the delorean factory and in the future every delorean produced would already be an EV?

All that work for a car that only has a range of 70 miles.

DeLorean the owner of 25 years, checking in. This guy Geoffrey Hoffman is absurdly unqualified to speak about the DeLorean. Pretty ridiculous honestly.

70 mile range? Horrible

Disrespectful
