EV Conversion:
The Modern Approach

EV conversion used to mean months of custom work and massive budgets. The Olympus Platform flips this—you get a complete electric chassis ready to drive, and you add whatever body you want.

Why DIY Conversions Are Hard

Most EV conversion projects fail at the same points: fitting batteries safely, managing heat, and getting it street legal. You can buy a motor and controller easily enough. The nightmare is making everything work together—battery boxes that fit the floor pan, coolant routing, crash protection, getting it certified.

Every vehicle is different. Different floor geometry, different suspension mounts, different crash structures. Unless you have serious automotive engineering experience, you're guessing your way through critical safety systems.

The Platform Approach

The Olympus Platform Kit works backwards from traditional conversion. Instead of cramming electric parts into a gas car, you start with a complete electric chassis and build your vehicle on top. Same approach Tesla uses. Now available for anyone.

What You Get

• 42-54 kWh battery pack — Pre-certified with thermal management built in
• 174 HP electric motor — Full torque from zero RPM
• 400V fast charging — Standard DC charging compatibility
• Drive-by-wire controls — Electronic steering and braking
• Complete cockpit — Dashboard, screen, and HVAC included
• CAN bus wiring — Standard automotive electronics interface

This cuts out 90% of the engineering. You're designing a body for a proven platform, not building an electric car from scratch.

Who Uses This

Commercial Fleets

Delivery companies mount custom cargo boxes on the chassis. Same electric platform, different bodies. One maintenance training program for the whole fleet.

Film Production

Stunt cars and camera vehicles. Drive-by-wire means remote control for dangerous shots. Bolt on whatever body the scene needs.

Classic Cars

Mount a vintage body on the electric platform instead of gutting the original car. Keeps the look, passes safety inspection, drives daily.

Custom Builders

Small manufacturers building unique vehicles. The chassis handles the hard engineering. You design the body and interior.

Specs

• Wheelbase: 183-196" adjustable
• Payload: 3,550 lbs above chassis weight
• Range: 155-255 miles
• Top speed: 121 mph
• Charging: DC fast + Level 2 AC
• Ground clearance: 6.5" minimum

You get CAD models and integration guides to mount your body properly.

Cost Comparison

DIY EV conversion runs $30k-$60k in parts alone. Then add engineering labor, custom fabrication, cooling system design, safety certification.

The Olympus Platform starts at $40k with everything integrated and tested. For commercial projects needing certification, this saves 60-70% total cost.

How It Works

1. Pick your config — Battery size and wheelbase
2. Design mounting — Use our CAD files
3. Build or source body — Custom or adapted
4. Wire it up — Standard CAN bus connections
5. Test and drive — Dial in the setup

90 days of technical support included.

Bottom Line

EV conversion doesn't have to mean months of custom fabrication and six-figure budgets anymore. Start with a complete electric chassis. Add your body. Drive it. The technology works. The only question is what you'll build.
