Everrati converts classic Mini to full electric vehicle for urban use

British electric vehicle conversion specialist Everrati has unveiled its latest project, an all-electric reimagination of the classic Mini that preserves the iconic design while delivering modern EV performance. The company, known for electrifying legendary automobiles including Porsche 911s and Mercedes-Benz SL Pagodas, is now offering bespoke electric Mini conversions that transform vintage donor vehicles into zero-emission urban vehicles.

Each electric Mini conversion begins with a carefully selected donor car from which the original petrol engine, gearbox, and fuel tank are completely removed. According to the company, these components are replaced with a compact electric motor and battery pack that fit beneath the existing bodyshell, delivering enhanced acceleration and the characteristic silent operation of electric powertrains while maintaining the Mini’s distinctive exterior appearance.

Electric Mini Conversion Specifications and Performance

While Everrati has not yet released detailed specifications for the electric Mini conversion, the company’s track record suggests significant performance improvements over the original combustion-powered models. Previous Everrati projects have included high-performance conversions of the Porsche 911, W113-generation Mercedes-Benz SL, and even the Ford GT, indicating substantial technical capabilities.

The conversion process goes far beyond simply swapping powertrains. Each commission is tailored to individual customer preferences, with upgrades available for suspension systems, wheels, heating, and infotainment technology, ensuring modern comfort and convenience alongside electric propulsion.

Bespoke Customization Options

Everrati offers extensive personalization options for interior and exterior finishes. Customers can select from premium materials including high-grade Bridge-of-Weir leather sourced from Scotland, allowing each electric Mini to reflect its owner’s unique aesthetic preferences.

To demonstrate the customization possibilities, the company has revealed two showcase examples. The Clubhouse model draws inspiration from traditional British private members’ clubs, featuring dark, rich leather tones and corresponding exterior paintwork that evokes classic sophistication.

In contrast, the Serenity example presents a softer, warmer aesthetic with pastel color schemes designed to appeal to contemporary tastes. These two contrasting design approaches illustrate the breadth of personalization available to prospective customers.

Pricing and Availability for Classic Mini EV Conversions

Everrati will handle the sourcing of suitable Mini donor vehicles before commencing the full electric conversion process according to customer specifications. However, the company has not disclosed pricing information for the conversions, though industry observers expect costs to reflect the bespoke nature of the work and premium components involved.

The decision to expand into classic Mini conversions represents a strategic move for Everrati into the compact urban vehicle segment. Additionally, the project capitalizes on the enduring popularity of the original Mini design, which remains iconic more than six decades after its introduction.

The electric Mini conversion also addresses growing demand for sustainable classic car ownership. Meanwhile, stricter emissions regulations in urban areas across Europe are making electric conversions increasingly attractive to classic car enthusiasts who wish to continue driving their vehicles in city centers.

Interested customers can contact Everrati directly to discuss their electric Mini conversion requirements and begin the commission process. The company has not announced production capacity limits or waiting times for the new offering, though high demand is anticipated given the popularity of both classic Minis and Everrati’s established reputation in the EV conversion market.
