Electrogenic has redesigned the 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 as an electric vehicle.

John DeLorean sits in his DMC-12 at Earls Court in London on October 21, 1981.

When you open the huge door and sink into the wide leather driver’s seat, you’ll find that the interior offers a surprising amount of space.

Instead of a gear lever, this DMC-12 has a rotary control for selecting the vehicle’s drive, neutral or reverse gears, as well as a second rotary switch for switching between Eco, Normal and Sport modes.

The 42 kWh battery enables a range of around 240 kilometers and can be charged from 10 to 80 percent in 45 minutes using a CCS fast charger.

The regenerative brake is sufficient for one-pedal driving in the city.

This battery-powered DeLorean weighs approximately 2,785 pounds, just 65 pounds more than when it left Belfast in September 1981 with a V-6 engine.

As a driving machine, it’s no Porsche 911, but the DeLorean has a quirkiness and sheer star quality that helps mask its shortcomings.

Electrogenic’s DeLorean EV conversion kit requires no drilling or modification to the vehicle structure.

The cost of Electrogenic’s DeLorean EV kit and installation labor is estimated to start at around $85,000.
