Epic EV & DeLorean Ink Deal

Epic EV On Cutting Edge Of Design

Torq: One of Epic's epic electrics

One of the country’s premiere independent makers of electric vehicles, Epic Electric, has entered into an agreement with the current incarnation of the DeLorean Motor Company to make composite bodies for the new DeLorean electric cars. The goal of the design venture was to maximize strength while at the same time decreasing the car’s overall weight. The DeLorean electric car, called DMCEV, will sport a composite body that is resin infused and extremely lightweight.

DeLorean CEO Stephen Wynne pointed out that the new design demanded not just low weight and strength, but strict safety goals, all of which were met or exceeded by the design team at Epic EV, according to a company press release. In addition, the new bodies can be retrofitted onto older DeLoreans, many of which still prowl the streets of the U.S., Europe, and Asia, where the classic automobile is considered a prized collector’s item.

Because Epic’s new design lowered body weight significantly, the range for the new electric classic will be impressive. Epic EV founder Chris Anthony wanted to improve roof and side strength by using the composites, and his team achieved that benchmark by lowering the car’s weight 200 pounds and adding enormous safety factors with the increased body toughness. Impact safety and durability are just two results of the advanced design methods and materials that Epic used in the DeLorean bodies.

Epic does more than manufacture and design electric vehicles for the road, as the company also makes electric and electric-hybrid boats with its small team of engineers and designers in Vista, California. The company’s factory is far away from its California headquarters, sitting on a large tract of real estate in Vivian, Louisiana.
