Enhancements & Upgrades

Enhancements
& Upgrades

Electrification of older vehicles by its very nature will result in an increase of power, making the car much more fun and easier to drive in modern day traffic.  Undoubtedly this is one of the huge benefits of converting classic cars to electric.

Our upgrade service brings together both traditional and contemporary engineering, resulting in upgrades and modifications that introduce the best of both worlds to your classic car.

This is model-specific.  Our very own 1970 Volkswagen Beetle, Herb-E, for example has had adjustable and up rated suspension front and rear and due to the effect of the regenerative braking from the EV conversion,  ensures Herb-E is able to stop on a sixpence. Reliable adjustments and modification such as enhancing the breaking system by fitting disc brakes all round, coupled with installing power steering and uprating the suspension, which will give you a car that looks like yesterday and drives like tomorrow – it depends how much you want to explore the new possibilities created by your new bespoke classic EV conversion. 

Parnell’s EV aim is to create a vehicle that is unique to you.  The only limits are your imagination, whether you require a bespoke interior, modern LED interior and exterior lighting. Sympathetically replacing your fuel gauge with a battery state of charge meter or even installing  touch screen technology that can give you all the new vital information of the car i.e. Battery range, motor temperatures plus control the audio, sat nav and much more. 

Again we always aim to make any modification 100% reversible.
