Classic VW camper vans were never designed for modern roads. Our electric conversions change that. We take iconic Volkswagen campers and replace outdated drivetrains with a high-performance electric powertrain, delivering better acceleration, smoother driving, and zero emissions – all without losing the character that made these vehicles legendary.
At GKR, we install eDub electric technology to transform classic VW campers into modern, reliable vehicles. The system delivers instant, smooth power from a standstill, so drivers experience effortless acceleration without the hassle of shifting gears. Climbing hills, merging onto highways, and passing slower traffi c feels natural and controlled. (
Electric power from eDub systems transforms usability. There’s no engine vibration, exhaust noise, or overheating, making every drive quieter and more relaxed. Regenerative braking slows the camper smoothly while recovering energy, reducing brake wear and improving stop-and-go comfort. The battery and motor systems are actively monitored, delivering consistent performance and safety. The result is a classic VW camper that’s easier to drive daily, more reliable, and ready for modern roads.
GKR’s VW camper conversions use eDub battery systems to provide range you can actually rely on. Depending on the battery pack, campers deliver between 130 and 190 miles per charge under real-world driving conditions. Efficiency is measured on real roads – highways, backroads, and hills – so drivers know what to expect in everyday use. Peak speed varies between 61 and 98 mph depending on the model, and each conversion maintains steady power delivery without overheating, even on long climbs or extended trips.
Electric running costs are far lower than gas. Depending on your rates, 100 miles can cost just a few dollars, with off-peak or solar power lowering costs even more. Think about hitting 100 miles per gallon in a gas car – you’d be thrilled, right?
Most owners charge at home overnight in their garage or carport using the 6.6 kW onboard charger, waking up ready to hit the road. For longer trips, public chargers are everywhere (check out PlugShare for locations), and most battery options can recharge in under 45 minutes.
Every GKR conversion using eDub systems is modular, allowing batteries, motors, and electronics to be upgraded as technology improves. Your camper can stay current for years without a complete rebuild, ensuring you’re driving a vehicle that’s reliable, enjoyable, and future-ready. Classic design preserved, modern performance guaranteed.
