Made in Germany.
ESDI EV T2 electric conversion kit
Our T2 electric conversion kit combines a powerful electric drive with a generous high-voltage battery and integrates into the existing vehicle structure.
Based on our TÜV-compliant concept, you receive all components you need for a safe and professional conversion – including documentation and support.
Process – this is how your T2 becomes electric
Check vehicle & select kit – We clarify with you which performance and battery package suits your intended use.
Installation at ESDI or a partner workshop – The pre-assembled system is installed, connected and commissioned.
TÜV inspection & handover – We accompany the individual approval inspection under §21 StVZO and the registration entry in the vehicle documents, then you take delivery of your electric T2.
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.

Frequently asked questions about the VW T2 electric conversion
Does the kit fit in every T2?
Yes – our kit is designed for all VW T2 (Type 2, 1967–1979), including Bulli, Kombi, flatbed and Westfalia camper. The rear installation position makes optimal use of the existing engine compartment.
How much power does the T2 get?
PURE up to 100 kW (136 hp), VOYAGER up to 220 kW (300 hp). Compared to the original 50 hp boxer, that is an enormous difference – especially when pulling away on a hill and when overtaking on country roads.
How long does the installation take?
We will give you a binding date and duration after inspecting your vehicle. Currently around three to four months' lead time from receipt of payment, after which the conversion itself takes around three months at our workshop.
What range does the T2 have?
200 km (PURE, 48 kWh) to 300 km (VOYAGER, 65 kWh) depending on the battery package and driving style.
What does the T2 electric conversion cost?
The kit starts at 29,990 €. Installed turnkey: 34,990–59,990 € depending on the stage (kit price plus 5,000 € installation, without base vehicle). There is also an intermediate stage with 53 kWh: 34,990 € kit, 39,990 € turnkey.
Do you handle the TÜV approval?
We take care of accompanying the TÜV inspection and presenting the vehicle – that is part of our service. We pass on the fees for the expert report and individual approval inspection unchanged; the inspection is always issued to the registered vehicle owner.
