EV conversion specialists Electrogenic to grow ‘Powered by Electrogenic’ kits
British EV technology company Electrogenic has unveiled an exciting new, the further development of its EV technology arm, ‘Powered by Electrogenic’.
Electrogenic is expanding the offer of its proprietary, sector-leading technology – the ‘secret sauce’ that has underpinned the business’ meteoric rise and sustained growth – to a broader audience in the form of ‘drop in’ kits, catering to the surging global demand for EV conversion technology. Operating alongside its bespoke classic car EV conversion activities, the expansion of Powered by Electrogenic takes the business to the next level.
The announcement comes as the Oxford-based outfit strengthens its leadership team, as ex-Arrival Ltd Chief Engineer, Francis Prime, joins the Electrogenic board. Electrogenic’s continued development underlines the sustained growth in demand for EV conversions, a vital technological pillar that will support the transition to a low-carbon future.

With ‘Powered by Electrogenic’, the company is offering its sector-leading EV powertrain conversion technology – which delivers sustainable, silent and reliable electric motoring – in a broader range of applications, and to a wider audience than ever before.
Steve Drummond, Electrogenic co-founder said: “We’re delighted to announce the further expansion of our Powered by Electrogenic technology, taking this exciting strand of our business – and the company as a whole – to the next level.”
“Each kit will incorporate the latest technology, while also drawing upon the accumulated experience from the cars we’ve converted – cars that our customers, in many cases, drive every day.”
“The expansion of our B2B technology business means we will be able to help further accelerate the move to a low-carbon future, getting our EV conversion technology into more vehicles more quickly. It also facilitates exports and will create more jobs in the UK automotive sector.”
“Powered by Electrogenic will be delivered to customers through key partner relationships, so keep an eye out for further announcements.”
The move builds on the success of the recently revealed ‘drop in’ agricultural Land Rover Defender EV conversion kit – developed in partnership with Innovate UK, tested extensively at Worthy Farm, host of Glastonbury Festival, and launched to much fanfare earlier this year.
Electrogenic is now expanding its EV conversion technology business, offering market leading ‘drop-in’ EV conversion kits through selected partners, internationally.
The first Powered by Electrogenic packages to launch will be three further ‘drop-in’ kits for the Land Rover Defender. The expanded Defender kit range is for the pre-2016 Defender, 90, 110 and 127 variants.
The kits will feature:
120kW or 150kW water-cooled motor
310Nm motor delivering 900Nm directly into the transfer box via a bespoke helical ground gear set
Retention of the high/low Land Rover gear select, with permanent four-wheel drive
62-93kWh of batteries, located under the bonnet and behind the rear axle
CCS rapid charging
