VW Split Screen Electric Conversion: Was It Worth It?

Deciding to convert a classic VW Split Screen to electric isn’t a small step. Cost, reliability, and preserving the soul of the vehicle are all valid concerns - and they’re questions we hear often.

This latest conversion answers them all.

A Big Decision, With Big Questions

“Would it be worth the cost? Would it be more reliable? Would I be damaging the integrity of a classic vehicle?”

For this owner, the decision came with hesitation. A Split Screen isn’t just a camper, it’s history. Any conversion had to be sympathetic, reversible where possible, and visually discreet.

The Result: Classic on the Outside, Electric Underneath

“I needn’t have worried, the guys at eDub Conversions did a brilliant job and carried out the project sympathetically and with great skill. Other than the absence of an exhaust pipe there is virtually no visible external sign that the vehicle has been converted”.

The original character remains completely intact - the look, the feel, the presence. The transformation happens when you drive it.

Driving Without the Worry

“Long steep hills are no longer a source of anxiety and annoying mechanical glitches are a thing of the past. She now runs smoothly, reliably and with an abundance of torque”.

Modern Comforts, Thoughtfully Added

Alongside the electric drivetrain, a few carefully chosen upgrades make everyday driving genuinely better:

“ Extra features such as LED lights and power steering make a huge improvement to the driving experience”.

Nothing feels overdone. Everything feels intentional.

Was It Worth It?

“Definitely”.

This conversion shows exactly what’s possible when electric technology is applied with respect for the vehicle it’s enhancing - not replacing.

For owners who love their classic VW but want to drive it more, worry less, and enjoy every mile, this Split Screen is proof that electric can be the future without erasing the past.
