I don’t want to buy a brand new EV, can I turn my ICE vehicle into an EV?

Retrofitting an EV kit into an ICE car is not advised because it would require a complete replacement of all significant vehicle components. The vehicle’s dynamics, safety, and dependability would be seriously jeopardized as a result.

The quality of crucial parts such as the battery pack, motor, controller, and wire harnesses is the major determining factor in the safe and reliable functioning of the vehicle. Additionally, the hazards associated with a high-voltage electric vehicle powertrain might be enormous.

With the restricted funds and capabilities of aftermarket players, it is difficult to accurately calibrate each sub-system of an EV powertrain due to its complexity. There are therefore many chances of running into problems down the road, and it could be difficult to receive the required service support from small-scale installations.

The cost of an electric vehicle retrofit might range from Rs 3 lakh to 5 lakh, and it would also significantly reduce the vehicle’s current selling value in its ICE form. We do not advise retrofitting at this time due to the rapid evolution of the electric vehicle market. Instead, you might get an EV from reputable automakers like Mahindra & Mahindra, MG Motor India, Tata Motors, and others.
