Can I Send My Camper to You for an Electric Conversion?
Which Camper Vans Can We Convert
and Which Ones Are Not Eligible?
At eDub Conversions, we specialise in converting classic vehicles, with a particular focus on iconic Volkswagen T2 Camper Vans. However, we can also assist with converting other types of camper vans that meet specific criteria. In this article, we’ll outline which vehicles we can convert to electric and the requirements your camper must meet.
Eligible Vehicles for Electric Conversion
We’re able to perform electric conversions on a wide variety of camper vans, provided they meet certain specifications. One of the main factors that determines eligibility is the vehicle's registration date. According to regulations set by the DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency), vehicles registered after January 2001 cannot undergo a fuel type change to electric. This restriction means that if your vehicle has a registration date post-2001, it will not qualify for an electric conversion.
For vehicles that fall within the eligible category—those registered before January 2001—there are no specific requirements regarding the condition of the vehicle. Whether your camper van is fully restored, roadworthy, or simply a shell with no engine, we can assist with the conversion. We are happy to work with camper vans in any condition and can arrange for additional restoration work if needed.
Comprehensive Restoration and Conversion Services
If your camper van needs restoration before conversion, we’ve got you covered. We collaborate with a network of trusted, local specialists who can handle various restoration tasks, from bodywork and interior refurbishing to mechanical repairs. We will ensure that your camper meets our high standards for both functionality and aesthetics.
We also aim to make the conversion process as seamless as possible for you. Whether your camper van is in pristine condition or requires extensive work, we can help facilitate transportation within the UK. We offer convenient options to collect the vehicle ourselves or use one of our trusted transport partners. Alternatively, if you prefer to arrange transport independently, we simply ask that you provide us with the delivery date and time.
Don’t Have a Camper Yet? We Can Help You Find One!
If you don’t currently own a camper van but are interested in having one converted, we can assist in sourcing a vehicle that meets your needs. Whether you're looking for a specific make, model, or condition, we have the resources and expertise to find the perfect camper van for your electric conversion.
Converting a Unique Camper Van
If you have a camper van that is unique or less common, and it falls within the pre-2001 registration requirement, we can still consider it for conversion. However, there are a few additional factors to consider:
Longer Timeframe: Since we haven’t worked on your particular model before, there may be unexpected challenges or design adjustments that extend the timeline for the conversion. The project could take longer than our standard timeframe due to these unknowns.
Limited Capacity for Unique Vehicles: We only take on a select number of unique camper vans each year. As a result, there may be a delay of 6-12 months before we can begin work on your vehicle, depending on our current workload and capacity.
Increased Cost: Because of the custom nature of the conversion, unique camper vans typically require additional design work and engineering to ensure a successful electric conversion. This can increase the overall cost of the project compared to our standard conversions.
We strive to be transparent with all our clients and will provide a clear, detailed quote once we assess your vehicle. If you are interested in moving forward, we will guide you through every step of the process to ensure you’re comfortable and informed.
