DeLorean with Tesla Drivetrain

Post by Kevin Sharpe »

The car will be on display at the Fully Charged Live Show in June (here). It's using the Zero EV inverter controller (here) which is a commercial version of the open source inverter controller developed by Damien and Johannes 8-)

As a DeLorean owner ( I'm restoring one) I was interested to see this thread.

Nice work - I'll be following this with a lot of interest.

If you wanted to raise further awareness on this please feel free to join the Facebook page - DeLoerean Restoration Projects. It's a well behaved bunch on there. ( - not like some e-forums)

Cheers

Kevin appears to be deliberately not part of this community anymore. His former company website just redirects to the company's original website in another country. I haven't seen him post anywhere in a couple years now.

Electric Deloreans are not unpopular. I'm pretty sure there's at least 3 in progress or done, in just the last couple years, but, no specific names come to mind.

Here's the Teslorean: http://www.teslorean.com/

Here's one from the owner of the Delorean Motor Company (bought all their stock, enough to make a few hundred more cars):


Here's a playlist of a guy converting his. Project Lightning:


Here's an Australian one:


... not an exhaustive list.
