Is It Economical to Convert ICE Car to Electric Car Using Conversion Kit

Get Electric Vehicle

While purchasing a brand-new electric car might not be feasible for everyone due to its higher upfront costs, people are looking for alternatives. converting existing internal combustion engine (ICE) cars into electric vehicles using conversion kits. Let us weigh the costs, benefits, and considerations associated with emerging trends.

Stellantis and Saft reveal prototype of battery that integrates charger and inverter functions in battery modules; IBIS

Green Car Congress

A demonstrator, operational since summer 2022, is the subject of numerous patents and marks a major break from electrical energy conversion systems currently used. With IBIS, the electronic conversion boards that perform the power inverter and charger functions are mounted as close as possible to the lithium-ion battery cells.

“Project Volt Gas Volt” proposes long-term financing plan to support widespread implementation of power-to-gas systems

Green Car Congress

Project Volt Gas Volt is based on a long-term financing plan and the use of existing technologies for the large-scale conversion of surplus renewable electricity to methane, with subsequent reuse. This would help speed up the return on investment in VGV for the development costs of the energy transition. Diagram: Isabelle Plat.
