Relik Electric is a classic car EV conversion specialist based in Woodchurch, Kent. The workshop converts petrol-powered classic vehicles to fully electric drivetrains, with each build engineered to the specific vehicle and the owner's requirements.
The workshop is located in the Ashford district of Kent and accepts vehicles from customers across the county — from Maidstone and Canterbury to Tunbridge Wells, Folkestone, and the coastal towns of the South East.
Relik Electric operates from a dedicated workshop at Woodchurch, a village in the Weald of Kent between Ashford and Tenterden. The site is within easy reach of the main road network across Kent, and is accessible from the M20, A28, and A2070 corridors.
For owners in Kent looking to convert a classic car to electric, Relik Electric offers a local option without needing to transport a vehicle out of the county. Clients from further afield — across the South East and the rest of the UK — also use the workshop, as there are relatively few specialists offering this service in England.
Relik Electric has carried out EV conversions on a range of classic vehicles at the Woodchurch site, including:
Other models are considered on a case-by-case basis. The primary requirement is a sound chassis and a clear brief from the owner.
The conversion process at Relik Electric covers the full scope of a drivetrain replacement, from removing the original engine and fuel system through to commissioning the finished electric vehicle. Supporting work — including bodywork, welding, restoration, and interior trim — can also be carried out at the same site.

Owners from other parts of the South East — including East Sussex, West Sussex, Surrey, and Essex — have also used the workshop. For vehicles coming from further afield, transport or delivery to the site can be arranged by the owner.
In addition to conversion work, Relik Electric offers EV diagnostic and repair services. This covers fault-finding and repair on existing electric vehicles, including high-voltage system diagnostics, battery assessment, and auto electrical work on both classic conversions and modern EVs.
This service is available to EV owners across Kent who need specialist electrical expertise beyond what a general garage can provide.
