Transformative EV technology, developed in Britain
Electrogenic's innovative range of kits is produced under the outfit's 'Powered by Electrogenic' technology arm, and comprises options for the Land Rover Defender, Jaguar E-Type, classic Porsche 911, original Mini as well as the Triumph Stag. Different specifications of battery and motors are available for each model – catering to a broad range of customer needs and budgets.
All the 'drop-in' kits are defined by their quality and depth of engineering, developed in-house by a research and development team comprising leading automotive engineers, programmers and electrical experts, and overseen by former Arrival Ltd Chief Engineer, Francis Prime.
The 'plug and play' powertrain solutions reflect Electrogenic's approach of developing and manufacturing its own technology, which includes in-house designed software, printed circuit boards (PCBs) and digital dashboards, as well as bespoke Battery Management Systems and vehicle charging technology. The driver interface also gets attention, with sport, eco and traffic modes, as well as a regen-based hill-descent control function for the Defender.
Electrogenic's cleverly packaged drop-in kits also use highly innovative mechanical componentry, including a unique system for creating high-density battery packs, as well as exceptionally compact in-line and transverse reduction gearboxes, all manufactured in the UK. The neat packaging solutions ensure that for each 'drop-in' kit variant, the existing vehicles' existing structure and architecture is preserved. This approach ensures that all Electrogenic conversions are entirely reversible.
All drop-in kits drive through single speed, fixed ratio transmissions, and are capable of up to 6.6kW AC charging, as well as rapid CCS charging, for total convenience.

Drummond concluded: "This announcement represents another significant moment for Electrogenic, as we continue to take our business to the next stage, further developing our world-wide reach. We've seen great interest in our EV conversion kits from all over the globe since we revealed them – particularly in North America and the UK.
"Our strengthened network enables us to meet this demand, helping more people than ever before to convert iconic models to EV power. And we're not stopping here, we'll be announcing partners for other territories in the coming weeks and months, so watch this space."
