Electric Triumph Stag conversion | Electrogenic 

Hair Dryer

100% agree, it's a sad day that I've seen this.

My dad would turn in his grave if I did this to the one he bought in 1976 and now sits in my garage to drive. I get the enthusiasm behind EV but the Stag is way over 50% all about the crossplane crank, odd firing order inducing V8 burble.

Yes but not that particular engine, which was pants! 😅

They should do time in prison. Sacrilegious tut tut

It sounds like a hair dryer 💔💔💔💔😢😢😩😩

Thanks and it does!

And the sound of that glorious V8?... Frankenstein!.

It is the original power steering, powered by an electric pump. It uses the original heating system, we have simply added an immersion heater and a little tank to provide the heat.

It is AC charging only, because it is a low voltage system which makes it a much cheaper conversion. It has 13kW of on-board charge capacity arranged in parallel so that it can charge in 3 phases at up to 50kW AC charging. This means on a 50kW charger for example it can charge the car in about 2 to 2.5 hours.

There's no excuse for any of those engine problems today that plagued the original. They were problems for those times where there's simple solutions for all of them these days. Just one example of that is how waterless coolant solves much of the corrosion that used to lead to overheating, but the Stag had to wait until 1993 for man to invent that. So, jokingly of course, you could say that Stags were well ahead of their time.

@@-Ace-of-Spades- One night when mum was driving ours, it instigated the waterless cooling mechanism when it blew out a core plug. Way ahead of its time indeed! :)

Yes

@@ElectrogenicREV I need at least 3 times that range for a meaningful touring capability within Australia. Big country, and some towns are 250+kms apart, with nothing in between except scrub and the odd dusty sheep. And in the case of the Stag, losing that engine note? Techological solution required to maintain that special aural experience.

@@acstagger Well you're not going to get the times that with a Stag anyway! I get around 18mpg with an automatic and 15 gallon fuel tank. Assume not running that to empty gives a usable of more like 250 miles.

You're joking, right? Do you own a Stag?

Peasent!...

144V nominal

Thanks just wondering how 7 tesla modules got 144 volts.

Hi Keith, Drop us an email to enquiries@electrogenic.co.uk and we'll send you some info.

But no V8 sound.... 😭

Every car is different and it depends on your requirements. Drop us an email or call, and we can discuss your options.

In other word mega €€€€€€€

Full electric cars have no gear box. Hence you can have 100% power immediately.

We're working on sound - watch this space!

The engine wasn’t good anyways

@@railfan9499 Engine is fine, just some quality issues with the casting, like leaving sand in the water channels and some design decisions that are now well understood and easily mitigated.

Dear Sir. I simply must protest. The Triumph Stag was the bench mark of world wide motoring for reliability, power, grace and British Engineering of the finest quality. My wife and I enjoyed many a trip over the 100,000 miles we did not cover in ours. At speeds of up to 50Mph. Stopping only occasionally for water, head gasket replacement and other normal repairs. Allied to the remarkably rust proof bodywork and peculiar very offset control pedals. No Sir. The Triumph Stag was an Engineering wonder of its time. The simply genius stroke of enlightenment placing the water pump at the highest possible position in the engine made a mockery of Fords gravity fed one. I could go on …. But I will not.

Shame on them!.

It is now a reliable daily driver and future-proofed for many more years of driving.

The only problem with the v8 was the fact it was all ali and people didn't know how to maintain them. That thing sounds like a milk float, what a criminal waste of a gorgeous car!

Oh dear what a shame 😕

no they were not

Jay Burgess - They had their quirks like all engines. But the reason for the bad rep was that back then, BL couldn't have put together an IKEA kit. An OHC alloy V8 thrown together and then given to dealers used to pushrod cast iron head engines. THAT is what went wrong. If you took a new Honda back to 1970 (and filled it's block with casting sand that BL left in the Stag engines) and threw THAT together/gave it to "old car" dealers - it would have been WORSE. Or given an Aston Martin to same assemblers/dealers. When it had problems, journo's of the time ran off a litany of "wrong facts" as to why there were problems. I guess that was easier than saying "BL couldn't put together a prefab BBQ". Those 'wrong facts" are resurrected every few years/cut/pasted. People LOVE a wrong legend. Once said, cannot be refuted. But give a Rolex to a boilermaker to service - yeah; when it doesn't go, MUST be the watches fault. I have had mine since 1993. In Australia (Perth, where it's hot, but have driven it coast to coast 7 times back in the 90's Melbourne to Perth return, 7,000 kms return trip for Xmas leave). I have done 330,000 kms in it. If I can make mine reliable/run all day in the middle of nowhere at 130 kmh dawn til dusk in heat up to 48 degrees C (peak, top of Eyre Peninsular in summer) but normally 40 deg all day; HOW can the "engineering be so bad????" They have their problems - I fixed them. NONE of the problems the "legends say." But the up side of the "bad rep"? That "recycled wrong facts" thing makes them cheap for me for parts and the like. So if people want to "stay wrong/recycle lies" = works for me. I can afford a V8 touring convertible that I have LOVED, still take shopping on the hottest days here................ and will have until the day I die. Thank you Triumph. :-)
