The company stands out in Germany for converting combustion cars into electric ones in just 8 hours, offering up to 300 km of autonomy in the converted vehicles.
With the growing popularity of electric cars in the market, there is still a significant challenge in terms of cost, making them unaffordable for many consumers. To serve those looking for a more economical alternative to purchasing zero-emission models, the German startup e-Revolt is introducing an innovative solution: conversion kits that transform combustion cars into electric ones at more affordable prices.
Combustion car conversion costs R$64
More important than the price is the speed promised by the company. Installation takes just 8 hours, much less than the weeks or months required by other companies. To achieve such a fast combustion car conversion process, e-Revolt adopted its own production line and component solutions.
The new structure of the motor and batteries is supported on the base of the model. A new electronic control module is also installed, alongside a propulsion systems control screen and the recharging plug. The work requires a minimum of eight hours, however it can last up to a day.

Still, much less than the average required by competitors. The service to transform common vehicles into electric cars costs between 12 and 15 thousand euros, which in direct conversion is the equivalent of R$64 thousand and 85 thousand, respectively.
Estimated to go into production by 2025, combustion car conversion kits will be offered for 42 different models. Having the same platform makes the job easier for some cars. The first model to go through the process is the Volkswagen Golf 7, produced from 2012 to 2019. e-Revolt claims that it can perform the service on other cars, as the solutions are modular.
Autonomy of electric cars can reach 300 km
For now, the company has not released performance or engine data, limiting itself to informing autonomy. The range of converted combustion cars can be between 250 and 300 km. The company also highlights that around 80% of used cars are reused, a trend that reinforces the concept of circular economy, as it does not require the purchase of something new, simply reusing a car that has already been built.
A study released by the Association of German Engineers (VDI) for vehicle and traffic technology, an electric model has 26% less pollution than a combustion model, however, its debt is only paid after 90 thousand km. Only from then on does the advantage of zero emissions begin to take effect.
Other initiatives to promote the advancement of electric cars
In addition to this German company that carries out the conversion of combustion cars into electric ones, the French government has developed a unique initiative that aims to popularize electric vehicles in the country. This is a program to subsidize the cost of rent.
The action applies to people who earn less than the country's minimum income. Some French automakers have already entered the program and offer cars for prices starting from 40 euros per month, the equivalent of R$214.
No down payment is required and deliveries will begin from January 1st next year. It is a lower value than announced by the President Emmanuel Macron in October last year, when the plan was revealed. The original objective was to offer payments of 100 euros per month to low-income drivers, an amount equivalent to R$535 per month.
