A spokesperson from FUSE, a UAE-based EV conversion company quoted an estimated cost for a small-scale conversion. According to them, a small car can be converted into an EV with a limited range of around AED 40,000 to AED 50,000. This is how much it currently costs to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubizzle.com\/blog\/cars\/building-project-car\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">build a project car in the UAE<\/a> with EV conversion kits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-range-anxiety\">Range Anxiety<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Those who drive petrol-powered vehicles don\u2019t have to worry about their car battery running out on the way. However, electric range anxiety is one of the noteworthy electric car conversion cons. It becomes even more concerning for people who frequently take long-distance trips. There are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubizzle.com\/blog\/cars\/ev-range-extender\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">EV range extenders<\/a> available that can add some extra kilometres to the EV trip. That said, going for such a solution means putting back a small combustion engine in a vehicle.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-charging\">Charging<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Charging takes longer than refilling a tank, which could be done in a few minutes.

FUSE, a privately-owned EV conversion company is in talks with the concerned governing body for EV conversion regulations. That said, the necessary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubizzle.com\/blog\/cars\/government-regulations-evs-uae\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">UAE laws and regulations for EVs<\/a> are already in place.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-faqs\">FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-any-car-be-converted-into-an-ev\">Can any car be converted into an EV?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. The trend of electric vehicle conversion is on the rise. In the conversion process, a conventional engine is replaced by an electric motor and batteries in a vehicle. Besides, here are some noteworthy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubizzle.com\/blog\/cars\/switch-to-electric-car\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">things to consider before switching to an EV<\/a> and bidding farewell to the petrol or diesel car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-much-does-electric-vehicle-conversion-cost-in-the-uae\">How much does electric vehicle conversion cost in the UAE?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The process of electric vehicle conversion starts at around AED 40,000 to AED 50,000. According to the UAE-based EV conversion company FUSE, it\u2019s the cost of converting a small, limited EV-capacity car. Besides, there are other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubizzle.com\/blog\/cars\/hidden-costs-owning-electric-cars\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hidden costs for EV owners<\/a> in the UAE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-a-converted-electric-car-be-registered-in-the-uae\">Can a converted electric car be registered in the UAE?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As the EV industry is young in the UAE, the framework for converted EVs is currently in the works. The authority weighs on commercial feasibility and practicality, among other noteworthy factors before giving necessary approvals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar is the case for solar cars. Despite the sustainable concept they propose, there are several factors behind the commercial <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubizzle.com\/blog\/cars\/solar-cars-not-available\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">unavailability of solar-powered vehicles<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was everything to know about the trend of electric vehicle conversion.
