The E-Lorean Project

Shaping the Future of Car Manufacturing

As part of our ambitious European EV transformation initiative, we are thrilled to announce an exciting project taking place in our Berlin Maker Garages. In collaboration with partners, we are retrofitting the iconic DeLorean into an electric vehicle – the E-Lorean. This groundbreaking adventure showcases the future of car manufacturing during the early stages of development, where collaboration replaces single OEMs.

Cars are now modular platforms with integrated software, tailored for various purposes. The E-Lorean Project tells the story of startups, corporates, and individuals joining forces to build a future vehicle platform.

Our ultimate goal is to demonstrate the capabilities of this innovative vehicle on the Road2Barcelona journey, spanning from Berlin to Barcelona. With the help of automated and user-friendly systems, we can seamlessly charge the E-Lorean across multiple European countries. Developed as an open-source project, this electrified vehicle not only showcases future mobility possibilities but also pays tribute to the classic DeLorean.
