While the 1972 BMW 2002 is off for panel and paint, we've been working on the battery boxes. This is the front unit which sits in the engine bay. It has its own service isolator, fuse, safety vent, thermistors, BMS cell taps and liquid cooling loops. This box design has gone through FEA to ensure it meets the requirements of engineering certification here in Australia. If you would like us to build your battery boxes for your EV conversion, get in touch via email and let us know what your build project is.

Met up with our friends and customers Dave and his wife Andrea at the Coorparoo Cars and Coffee. Dave and Andrea brought their amazing electric HyPer 9 powered VW Baja Beetle Ute and it was a huge crowd pleaser. It was over heard many times that morning "wow this Baja is amazing, oh look and it's electric!" A testament to Dave's hard work and Andrea's support. The Baja is so unique with so much fine custom work. Not only that, but the Baja is built tough and made to be used off-road and is completely water sealed so that it can be driven hard and also washed down properly. So many unique cars at the meet, there really is something for everyone's tastes. For a great video of the turnout, check out on YouTube.

This is your chance to own to a very quick EV Beetle. We’re offering this Beetle for sale now so that the lucky owner can decide the direction for the build from the beginning. We have a clean slate here. The lucky owner can decide which way to go with panel and paint, whether it’s a full resto, part resto or leave the character it’s got and just get straight into the EV conversion. The engine bay is empty, the 1972 VW Super Beetle has the IRS rear end and is just begging for a Tesla drive unit to propel this machine. That’s the 1 choice that’s already decided. This Super Beetle is definitely getting a Tesla motor. We’re happy to go Tesla Small drive or Large drive. We’d love to put a large drive in here, so if that’s something you’re interested in, let’s go! This will be one of the quickest EV Beetles out there so if you’re serious about speed, this is the one for you.
We have Tesla motors in stock as well as the major components ready and waiting.
This particular Super Beetle has a full owners and service history. The previous owner had it for 14 years and was very particular about who it would be sold to. The previous owner is really excited for it to go EV.
There’s been the typical rust repair in the roof sills, so the poor paint match can be seen, but that just means you know the repair is there, done and taken care of.
We partner with professionals who specialise in VW panel and paint repair and those guys are well known in the VW community so if you do want to have this car completely or partly restored we can certainly organise a fantastic restoration for you.
So if you’ve been on the fence about starting an EV conversion because you don’t own a classic Beetle yet, maybe you don’t know where to start and aren’t quite up to the task of converting one on your own, get in touch with us and we can start the process immediately.
This ’72 Beetle is waiting for you to adopt!
