How to convert my Mercedes to electric?

I have a 2013 Mercedes 220 CDI and I love the car, but put up low mileage (10,000km a year); how long does it take to convert to electric and what would the cost be?

Hi Paddy,

I'm afraid there's no easy answer to that as it's very rare that someone would consider converting such a modern car to electric power. It would have to be a bespoke project and it would be fiendishly challenging. I would estimate months of work and nearly €100,000 in costs.

In short, this is not an effective way to get into electric car ownership.
