The DMC-EV Electric Delorean – Translogic

The current owner of the Delorean Motor Company is in the process of developing an electric version of the DMC-12. The hope is to have turn-key cars built from their inventory of new-old-stock parts available for purchase next year for $95,000-$100,000. They’re also planning on retrofitting electric drivetrains into existing DMC-12’s. Bradley Hasemeyer of Translogic visits the DMC warehouse and test drives the DMC-EV test mule. Delorean Motor Company paired up with Epic EV for a complete battery, motor and charger package. The prototype car has a basic brushed DC motor, but the production version is slated to have a 400V AC induction motor that produces 260 horsepower and 360 ft-lbs of torque. There’s also some bonus footage of the new chassis that Epic helped DMC make with the original molds. Instead of hand laid fiberglass, they are now using vacuum bags and honeycomb reinforcement to make a lighter and stronger chassis.
