Electric Triumph Spitfire MKIV (1972)
Public DepositedDownloadable Content
open in viewerOur team converted a student-owned 1972 Triumph Spitfire (MK IV) from a gasoline internal combustion engine to a fully electric system. To do this conversion, our team removed the engine, transmission, and OEM supporting equipment. We then designed, manufactured, and integrated a manual-electric drivetrain, 24 kWh battery unit, embedded sensor suite, and custom digital dashboard. This conversion was completed in 30 weeks, and had a total cost of $10,659.97. During testing, we found our car has a calculated range of around 80 miles, with a top speed of 55mph. Our team hopes to improve the reputation of EVs and renewable energy through implementation of cutting edge technology in a vintage classic car.
