The first step in any conversion is for us to understand you’re requirements. We work with you every step of the way to create the perfect classic electric vehicle for you.
Every vehicle will be different, no two conversions will ever be identical. We have worked hard perfecting a process when it comes to installation so that no cutting or welding ever takes place, so the investment value of your vehicle remains intact. From the outside, it will appear to be the same as the day it was made, retaining all its beautiful timeless character and if so desired, could always be converted back. But we’ve never heard of anyone choosing to go back to internal combustion.
All stages of conversion are carefully planned in advance. The first step is to carry out a complete check of the vehicles suspension, steering, brakes and structure to identify any areas which need attention or upgrading.
Whether the vehicle requires a full restoration prior to electrification or the donor vehicle is in good, general condition, the brakes steering and suspension will need to be in perfect mechanical condition.
At Parnell’s EV we offer a number of packages to upgrade the steering suspension and brakes to that of a modern car.
Now the original engine, fuel tank and associated components are removed and an efficient AC brushless motor( or maybe two for those who want some serious HP), Lithium Ion batteries contained in custom made battery packs along with a host of electronic wizardry to keep everything running smoothly and efficiently is installed.
It’s a lot more complicated than it sounds and the attention is in the detail and many many hours of work go into the complex design and planning of each individual conversion.
Every wire, every cable, every box, every fuse is labelled appropriately and we provide a detailed manual with every conversion we do. In this manual you will find all the proper fuse ratings, wiring diagrams, part numbers, and much more. Of course we are happy to service your car for you but it also allows you to service your vehicle wherever you desire
Once the installation is complete we carry out extensive tests to make sure everything is working as it should and after carrying out a road test, the car is ready for you to collect.

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.
