Starting in September 2023, French customers will be able to purchase the Renault 5 electric retrofit kit. The Twingo version of the same kit will hit stores at a later date.

At the renowned classic auto show, Rétromobile, visitors will be able to take a closer look at three retrofitted models showcased on the Renault stand. Questions and inquiries can be made before added with their order for an electric retrofit kit of their own through our partner R-FIT. Starting February 1st, these kits will be available online for €11,900 .

The kit basically replaces the ICE engine with a brushless synchronous motor. The press release doesn’t detail whether it’s an AC or DC system, but for conversions a DC motor is just fine. Rfitvintage’s website doesn’t tell us either, so it’s probably safe to assume it’s a DC system as those are very common in conversions. The pack is 105 volts, so it’s very likely a DC system.

Finally, it has a two-year warranty, so you’re not just getting a “Good luck!” from your friend who put the thing together in his garage with a forklift motor. It’s guaranteed to run. The kit has also passed relevant safety testing at UTAC , so you can be confident that you’ve got a safe vehicle.
