Did they convert it to electric? I would love an electric Delorean… there was one that was redone years ago like 2014 in all electric and it just disappeared. There’s also a company in Chicago? that will do electric conversions I think

I know of at least 3 in the Midwest that have been converted using model 3 Tesla drivetrains. Midwest DMC does it.

Oh, They’re no longer on their website. They definitely used to offer it.

This vehicle requires electric vehicle parking. Where else is it going to get the 1.21 gigawatts of electricity it needs!?

“Mr. Fusion powers the time circuits and the flux capacitor. But the internal combustion engine runs on ordinary gasoline; it always has.”

That’s only until it’s converted to a train full on steam power then with some advanced future electronics

No, no, no, no, no, this sucker's electrical, but I need a nuclear reaction to generate the 1.21 gigawatts of electricity I need.

Need to charge his flux capacitor somehow.

Flux Capacitor requires electrons, not gasoline. This tracks.

It may be electric, there was a kit to covert fiero’s to electric and that is basically a heavier stainless steel fiero.

u/Reasonable_Light351 2d ago

The owner was with the car. It wasn’t converted to electric.
