Carborg Project – Classics for EVer!
With our uniquely developed modular technology, we give you the key to converting classic cars into electric vehicles.
Welcome to the Carborg Project
We are obsessed car enthusiasts with countless restoration projects behind us. We spent years searching for a solution to bring Minis into the 21st century, and once we found it, we spent many more years developing and perfecting it. As the world races towards electrification, we saw an opportunity to combine the greatness of veteran cars with the benefits of electric drives. All this without sacrificing the driving experience! Our solution keeps the original, variable clutch, gearbox and differential gear, so whether you are driving an ordinary city car or a powerful, custom-configured racing car, we guarantee that it will put a smile on your face.
This way, the rolling wonders of the last century do not have to retire but can be reborn in a way that is highly relevant to the needs of our times.
Our partners convert their customers’ classic cars to electric cars, and we provide the complete technology, comprehensive knowledge, and full support to get the job done. If you want, we can include all the parts you need for the conversion from the cable harness to the last nut and bolt in our system, but you can also choose to get some components from other sources. So, you can say goodbye to compromises, as you can customise the end result to the last detail, perfectly meeting your customer’s needs.
We offer a package, a solution, and an approach that you can only find with us.
We have six reasons that make us different from others
Perfect car experience
For us driving an electric car doesn’t just mean pushing a button. We keep the original feel of the car: our technology keeps the gearshift and clutch, while the converted car is still more powerful than the factory Mini 1000 in its basic configuration – and it can even be upgraded! The veteran vehicle remains a highly likeable, and very driveable car.
A customisable modular system
You can realise all of your customer’s special and individual ideas, because we give room for expansion and further development in our system. For example, you can replace batteries, but we also have suggestions for increasing capacity by up to 50%. Our technology is not only suitable for street use, but also for racing.
Credible and verifiable numbers
All the data we share is backed up by a series of tests. We have no unrealistic values that defy the laws of physics. We work with engineering precision, perform stress-analyses on our technology, measure everything and test everything – so our communicated values are without exception verified, realistic and reliable.
Only the best of everything
Thanks to our network of carefully picked suppliers, you will only find market-leading products from the most reputable manufacturers. Curtis Instruments engine controller, Orion BMS 2 battery monitoring system, F.I.M.E.A. engineering 3 phase liquid cooled electric motor, TC Charger on-board battery charger – to name just a few of the components we use.
Preserving and creating values
We created the Carborg Project for Minis because we love them, but our solution is not just for them. We have developed a conversion kit to upgrade classic cars, giving them a second chance. And because we make completely new cars from used bodywork and batteries, the environmental impact of the work is minimal.
Our technology, but your work
With our system, you can do the conversion in your own garage. You don’t have to move the whole car and transport it back, and you don’t have to outsource the job. The resulting electric classic car will be the creation of you and your team. And because we provide our partners with unlimited access and expertise to our technology, you can even improve it – we are happy to assist, and we’ll give you all the support you need!
