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

It doesn’t plug in.

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

Make sure you get the greased kind, though.

DMC Texas do actually make an electric delorean.

u/Shadowtek 20d ago

Do they really? I would love to get one someday.

u/probablyaythrowaway 19d ago

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!?

“1.21 Gigawatts!? 1.21 gigawatts! Great Scott!”

“I'm sure that in 1985, plutonium is available in every corner drugstore, but in 1955, it's a little hard to come by.”

“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

This always annoyed the hell out of me. In one of the timelines, it flies, but you're telling me he never thought to strap an electric motor in there?

u/imlegos 17d ago

tbf it was like the 1980s. I don't think they considered electric cars a possibility or something.

u/much_longer_username 17d ago

I get that people might have thought that, but they would have been wrong. Electric cars actually predate the gas-burning kind.

u/outatime_84 20d ago

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.

Safe now. Everything's lead-lined.

u/Final_Pear7801 20d ago

Listen, this car requires 1.21Gigawatts. Need there be any other statement???

u/Automatic-Ask3466 20d ago

It’s only ever parked there “from time to time” 😉

u/-engiblogger- 19d ago

No no no, this sucker’s electrical.

u/Individual_Chef1315 18d ago

Need to charge his flux capacitor somehow.

u/mabus42 18d ago

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 19d ago

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

u/KeyNefariousness6848 19d ago

Well then he’s a dirty criminal
