Porsche 964 electric conversion kit
Electrifying the 964 – quickly and without extensive cutting. Our kit combines Tesla technology with a classic driving feel. TÜV-accompanied. Made in Germany.
ESDI EV 964 electric conversion kit
The integration is seamless into the existing vehicle architecture. No visible modifications – the vehicle retains its original character.
Process – this is how your 964 becomes electric
Vehicle inspection & kit selection – Together with you we determine which power and battery package suits your intended use.
Installation at ESDI or a partner workshop – The pre-assembled system is installed, connected and commissioned.
TÜV approval & handover – We accompany the individual inspection under §21 StVZO and the registration in the vehicle papers; you then take over your electric 964.
What is included in the price – and what is not
Applies to all tiers.
Power
The kW and hp figures are the maximum output of the drive unit. What gets registered is what your vehicle's peripherals allow – brakes and suspension set the limits, and the output is limited accordingly.
So you do not need to upgrade anything, just because a big number appears in the table. You get a unit that could do more than what gets approved for your vehicle.
Air conditioning
If your vehicle has air conditioning fitted, it stays usable. The factory compressor hangs off the combustion engine's belt and disappears along with it – we fit an HV compressor that keeps the system running while also cooling the battery.
If none is fitted, the conversion does not create one either – we cannot retrofit it. That applies equally at every tier.
Removal of the combustion engine
Your vehicle arrives leer to us, with the powertrain already removed. We electrify, we do not strip out.
That is handled by our partner CGM – Classic German Motors for an extra charge, and CGM can do more: restoration, blasting, underbody preparation and preservation, fresh brakes and axle parts. On request, CGM can also market your removed old parts on consignment.
TÜV
The accompaniment to the TÜV and the presentation of the vehicle are handled by us – that is part of our service.
The fees for the expert report and individual approval are passed on unchanged. The inspection is always issued to the vehicle owner, and you pay it directly.
