What we do
Relik EV brings together electrical engineering, restoration knowledge and modern EV conversion expertise to create classic cars that feel more reliable, more usable and more exciting to drive.
We convert characterful classic cars into clean, responsive electric builds designed around the vehicle, the owner and the way it will be driven.
From classic wiring to modern EV systems, our electrical experience allows us to diagnose, repair and engineer with precision.
We work with trusted specialists to support full build requirements, from structural restoration to interior trim and finishing details.
Every detail matters. We help refine classic cars with considered upgrades, repairs and bespoke touches that suit the build.
Featured build
This bespoke conversion combines timeless design with cutting-edge power: a 220kW electric motor, 41kWh battery and 70kW fast charging, ready for real-world driving with up to 150 miles of range on a single charge.
More than just quick, it is silent, responsive and crafted to turn a classic icon into something usable every day.
Why go electric
A Relik EV conversion is not about replacing character. It is about removing the compromises: difficult starting, fuel smell, heavy maintenance and outdated drivability, while preserving the presence and soul of the car.
Converting existing classics helps extend the life of cars already built, while removing tailpipe emissions from every future journey.
Electric classic cars can be significantly cheaper to run, with fewer fluids, fewer service items and less routine mechanical wear.
An EV drivetrain is mechanically simpler than a combustion setup, bringing smoother power delivery and improved reliability.
Each conversion can meaningfully reduce a vehicle's carbon footprint compared with continued petrol use over its lifetime or purchasing new.

A Relik build is personal. These are cars people already care about, rebuilt with modern electric performance while preserving the character that made them special.
Top-notch craftsmanship! The attention to detail in converting my classic to electric was amazing. They walked me through each step, no unnecessary charges, just honest, expert work. My Landy drives smoother and faster than ever and everyone asks me about it! Truly one of a kind.
Absolutely love what Relik did with my Fiat 500! The transformation is stunning, it still has all the charm I fell in love with, but now it's smooth, silent, and surprisingly quick. The team were brilliant from day one, super transparent and clearly passionate about their craft.
Why Relik EV
Classic EV conversion is specialist work. Relik EV combines electrical expertise, careful project planning and trusted craftsmanship to create builds that feel resolved, reliable and genuinely exciting to own.
We have earned the trust of owners, specialists and respected names in automotive craftsmanship through considered work and clear communication.
Our team brings deep auto electrical knowledge to classic vehicles, from careful diagnostics to complete EV drivetrain integration.
Reliability matters. We agree the scope, timeline and technical direction before work begins, then keep the build moving with purpose.
We collaborate with trusted restoration, trimming and fabrication specialists to deliver complete builds with the right craft in the right places.
The process
A bespoke EV conversion from our Kent workshop, built around your car, your vision and the way you want it to drive. From first conversation to final handover, every build is planned with engineering clarity and crafted with restraint.
We talk through your car, your goals, and your budget. You'll get a clear outline of what's possible and a no-obligation quote based on your specific vehicle and spec.
Your car comes to our Woodchurch workshop for a full assessment. We confirm the motor and battery specification, agree the conversion pack, and lock in your timeline.
Our engineers remove the original drivetrain, fabricate the battery enclosure and motor mounts, and install all EV systems - motor controller, BMS, charging hardware, CAN-based instrumentation and cabin heating as standard.
Every conversion goes through a full road test and charging cycle before handover. You leave with everything you need to charge at home or at a public CCS rapid charger.
