Evice Unveils Electric Rolls-Royce Conversion, Merging Classic Luxury with Green Innovation by 2026
December 22, 2024U.K.-based company Evice is embarking on an innovative journey to convert classic cars to electric power, starting with a Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow sedan, designated as XP1.
Known for their luxury and quietness, Rolls-Royce models like the Phantom, Ghost, and Spectre embody an ethos of elegance that Evice aims to preserve in its electric conversions.
Evice's approach not only promotes sustainability in the automotive industry but also addresses the balance between enjoying classic cars and reducing carbon footprints, aligning with contemporary environmental concerns.
In addition to the electric drivetrain, Evice enhances the Silver Shadow with an advanced suspension system featuring active dampers, modern braking systems, and luxurious interior amenities such as heated and cooled seats and Apple CarPlay.
The active suspension system is designed to replicate the original vehicle's comfortable ride while improving handling capabilities.
The XP1 is equipped with a 77-kWh battery pack that provides an estimated range of over 200 miles, utilizing an 800-volt electrical architecture to meet various driving needs.
Evice's electric powertrain delivers an impressive output of 400 horsepower, significantly surpassing the original gasoline V-8 engine, while ensuring a quiet driving experience with instant torque.
Safety features are also a priority, with Evice integrating external cameras without compromising the aesthetic integrity of the original Rolls-Royce designs.
Evice plans to launch conversion packages for both the Silver Shadow and the Corniche convertible by Spring 2026, marking a significant step in their electric vehicle offerings.
The first electric Rolls-Royce from Evice is expected to be delivered in Spring 2026, with intentions to expand their conversions to other classic models in the future.
Founded by three British engineers, Evice is focused on merging classic luxury with modern technology, paving the way for a new era of electric classic cars.
