Really impressive. Built the circuit boards, coded his own software for the console, hardwired and soldered everything together. It's pretty much like building an electric car from scratch. Crazy! Wish DeLorean would mass produce EVs some day. My dream car.
Actually they did, since back in 2013 ( I believe) When they’ve Done a espectacular Job with them and especially with a Super Charged one ( That on Which I love) .
@@1ivannthegreat Yeah I've been following that on the DMC site (or whatever site it was). But I haven't actually seen them produce EV Deloreans aside for maybe a few for like $100,000. As far as I'm aware, DMC has a warehouse in Texas and is aiming to piece together parts to recreate original Deloreans.
@@AndrewCortesi I think they started actually releasing them in 2017 (I think they started taking pre-orders in 2013 or 14), but from what I have seen, there were tons of parts still in warehouses from the original bankrupt company stock, and somebody (or group of people) basically resurrected the company to a degree by buying those part stocks up and start once again manufacturing, while also upgrading some key areas for the major faults that new technology and manufacturing processes allowed for them to correct within reason. For instance, the original chassis coating meant to prevent rust was known to crack over time and allow rusting, so they reconditioned the original ones with a new coating to prevent these issues. I'm assuming they have corrected some of the major issues with their engine as well, but it sure seems like they are way faster with an EV setup than they ever could have been with the original engine design. But essentially you can buy a newly manufactured car from DMC and they have a website (at least they did last time I checked).
Unfortunately there's a torsion bar used in the gullwing doors that cannot be manufactured anymore, used a freeze drying process (from memory) during the casting stage and there are no facilities that have that technology anymore. Might be a bit off on the technicals but have a google and you'll see.
Actually they did , since I’ve told this other guy that they’ve came out with one back in what?, 2013 ( I think, I’m not sure what year they came out with the Electric one) .
@@bradsmith9189 Appliance? Have you seen what Electric cars can do? Come on man. What better way to take a car that was a vision of the future and then making it the actual future? I get the "electric car is bad blah blah" argument but really, move with the times.
@@artpereira I'll give another 10 yrs before nuclear takes over. But no matter if you like or hate ev, an electric delorean is just a chef kiss. Quiet and sleek like the 80s future aesthetic.
@@georgepacheco9983 this “chef kiss” trend is really annoying. Hope it dies out but yes, I agree with you. The Delorean was never known for it’s Peugeot engine
One of the most notable things about the DeLorean was the great condition of it body panels. Stainless steel holds up, that is one of the things I am excited about the TriMotor Cybertruck I ordered. Top speed who cares I will never drive that fast acceleration thats fun every day
The 100$ cybertruck preorder was a really smart move by tesla. i know a lot of people who "ordered" a cybertruck and mention it on every possible occasion. People who like to imagine themself riding a cybertruck, but never will.. That makes me sad.. those people would never spend money for institutions trying to protect the enviroment, wildlife or oceans.. they would not even donate some blood.. but stupid bragging rights ? here you go: 100$
Great Scott! I'm glad they brought this generation's motive powerpacks and motors to bring this icon back on the roads. I look forward to the day when someone brings this car back out to put mercury engines inside. That way it'll be able to do what it did in the end of BTTF3
Dr Emmett brown if my calculations are correct when this baby hits 88 miles per hour you're gonna see some serious beep Marty McFly: Wait a minute. Wait a minute, Doc. Ah... Are you telling me that you built a time machine... out of a DeLorean? Dr. Emmett Brown: The way I see it, if you're gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some *style?* Huge back to the future fan 📼
...and this way a train wouldn't be needed in BTTF 3, because there would've been no gasoline to leak in the first place. Just find an even enough terrain and let Doc charge the batteries if needed, Marty'll be back in 1985 before Buford Tannen can say "I hate manure"
Back to the future taught many things, but the most are: 1- The DeLorean DMC-12 is sexy as hell. A never aging beauty in the car industry. 2- Electric is the future and the future is now. And is purposely held back. In my fantasies of EV motors the best will be a steam-electric hybrid motor.
Electrical DeLorean is a super great idea ! if it is available market for sale, for sure I will buy one ! The next DIY conversion project I will suggest any truck or half track from the 30's or 40's, like kfz 2, OT-810 etc
FINALLY. I've been talking about an EV Delorean concept for so long. I Couldn't even find a vid/post where people actually attempted it in real life. I really like the idea of making some classic cars electric.
Really great job! Surprised there hasn't been a modern electric redesign of this car for mass production, but I guess that's what gives the old one its charm.
I've been building electric cars since the late 70's. Vw's, Datsuns, Mazdas and on and on. My latest is based on 2017 impala. Where I was once considered "weird", now people are very interested in my way of building.
Oh boi if tesla themselves put their own spin of electrical technology in the Delorean while still keeping the classic design would have been MIND BLOWING
It seems to me that if there was any car that needed to be an EV it would be the Delorean. The car still looks unique and futuristic to this very day, I wish they were put back into production. I know I’d buy one.
This is honestly huge If we can make the classic Deloreans again and put them with proper powerful electric components then it's the best that will happen
when I think of a DeLorean...I think of "back to the future" and then I think of some sort of electronic wizardry, so I think an all electric DeLorean is what it should be
Love your build. Was curious about why no one has yet to build a Adams type motor. Electric magnet motor that's at least 800% efficiency because of the lack of drag and recharging batteries as it's running. Thanks for your beautiful rebuild and showing us.
This is one of the coolest things I’ve seen with any vehicle This is exciting stuff Ever since I was a kid I was stoked to see electric vehicles But they never came Finally they’re finally starting to come out
Excellent!!! This summer I’ll be building a PorschLa 928. I have two donor 928s that will be combined to one and a Tesla drivetrain / battery pack switched in
It is an impressive project. But for those wishing for more power, Yamaha built a line of electric motors. The most powerful pumps out 469 hp / 350 KW, which I think could be sweet for the DMC-12
banana peels, used coffee grounds, and beer cans with half drank beer are the integral key that are everywhere in "past". Something to do with the type of people who use em has that hyper efficient energy that will save the world's energy issues.
Definitely a great job and so nice to make a famous classic car into an electric version - who doesn't like seeing a classic car on todays roads. Well done.
Would love to see a DeLorean Back To The Future Electric Conversion. Question is how much power could you actually squeeze into a DeLorean with all those lights and sound effects?
Tesla should make a photo shoot of this DeLorean beside the Cybertruck. After all the engineers were clearly inspired by the DeLorean to create the new car of the future.
Yes I think the information got confused because the Grand National they swapped the engine from was already modified and did not contain the original engine.
all that coded android monitoring app needs is an extra screen that shows the time circuits from the movie, it even has the green digital clock font already!
As a DeLorean owner I’ve always wanted to convert our De to an EV and with that now becoming a much more reasonable possibility video’s like this are so temping. When a strong company enters the market with a decent warranty I’ll seriously consider making the move. The car just has a seemingly never ending issue of mechanical problems. I’ve never owned a car where you can replace most all the important parts yet they repeatedly fail anyways. Very frustrating and a head scratcher. On the other hand, I’ve never seen a car that can attract attention from even six figure cars like the DeLorean. Sitting at a stop light, no matter what’s next to you, even a young blond in a convertible.......you win. Not you, but the DeLorean!
I know DMC Houston is doing an EV version themselves but if I could get someone else to do something similar to this “leaf” version on a “semi” refurbished DMC for under $50K out the door with even only a 6 mph warranty I would pay cash for it RIGHT NOW. My family was involved with the initial launch of DeLorean’s and I remember being driven to grade school in them. I’ve even spent time at DMC California - Garden Grove on many occasions. I was a DMC fan before BttF. DMC rocks.
Remove the hatch for the trunk and put a solar panel there also cut part of the roof out and put a solar panel there. Now you can charge your battery and almost never run out of power

The comparison between the DeLorean fraud and Musk's con is appropriate. "I ORDERED" LOL.
“Top speed who cares”
You’d better care, since it needs to be able to do at least 90 mph or else it can’t time travel
