Citroën 2CV electric conversion – 1977

Regrettably, little information is available regarding this electrically converted Citroën 2CV. The creator embarked on the endeavor using a 1977 2CV, retaining much of its factory design while removing the original engine to accommodate the electric motor and associated control systems. To power the electric motor and enhance front-to-rear weight distribution, a battery bank was integrated into the vehicle’s trunk.

The initial 1977 2CV transformed into this electric vehicle, originally featured a Citroën, air-cooled, horizontally-opposed two-cylinder, 602cc engine, generating 29bhp. This distinctive conversion highlights the 2CV’s remarkable adaptability, transitioning from its original design to a contemporary electric vehicle, showcasing a fusion of historical charm and modern innovation.
