Corvette C1 fully electric

The 1962 Corvette was the last member of the first Corvette generation. Like all Corvettes, it had a plastic body, making it a lightweight for its time. A good basis for an electric car.

Through a complete restoration and all-round renewal, we have led the classic into an electric future.

Quality through handcraft and
love for detail

The following work was carried out on the way to the electric car:


Restoration

  • Frame sandblasted and powder coated
  • Plastic bodywork cleared of paint residue and filler, defective areas rebuilt with fiberglass-reinforced plastic
  • Vehicle repainted
  • Procurement of missing parts, where necessary adaptation of these parts
  • Chrome parts newly chromed
  • New softtop mounted

Electrification

  • Choice of suitable components
  • Development of batteries and suitable battery boxes
  • Circuit diagram for high voltage and 12V
  • Installation of motor and gearbox with suitable motor mount
  • Installation of power electronics
  • Programming and testing of motor control

Individual adaptations

  • Weight reduction, e.g. modification of hood mount, windshield wiper system, two-component paint
  • Design of the gear shift gate
  • Redesign of gauges in the original style
  • Battery viewing window
  • hochvoltkabel
