APAC Insider- Australian Enterprise Awards 2024 | 147 Feb24504 In the automotive industry of today, electric vehicles (EVs) are well on the way to becoming king, celebrated for their positive impact on the environment when compared with their predecessors. As this technology continues to evolve and become further streamlined, people may find themselves wanting to invest in an electric motor but keep the classic car that they already own. This is where Unique EVs comes in, an industry leader in classic car electrification and transforming cars into premium electric vehicles, catering to the particular niche of classic car enthusiasts interested in the future of sustainable transport solutions. Managing Director Cameron Gardiner tells us more. Founded in 2021, Unique EVs revives the classical aesthetic through the power of modern technology, undertaking high-quality conversions that ensure there is a place for timeless classic motors in this eco-friendly, sustainable age. Beginning with a thorough vehicle inspection before planning and conversion is carried out, Cameron explains, “the company upholds its reputation through meticulous craftsmanship, stateof-the-art technology, and a focus on performance and style”, adding, “with each project, Unique EVs aims to exceed client expectations, delivering not only a product but a memorable experience.” Experts in providing a new lease on life for retro cars, it is the mission of those at Unique EVs to, “lead the electric vehicle conversion market by futureproofing classic cars, producing unique electric sports cars, and transitioning niche markets to [sustainable] e-mobility, […] a critical contribution [in] transitioning [the] industry from a fossil fuel reliance to the technology of electrification and creation of a sustainable ecosystem.” This ethos runs right through the company and is even present in its logo, which symbolises a phoenix being reborn from the ashes through the power of an electric charge. Thanks to the synergy of new and old and the artisanal conversions undertaken by this team, the classic car industry is being led by hand to the electrification of the future. At a time when the wider industry is being dominated by discourses surrounding rapid technological advancements, and a prominent shift towards legislation regarding sustainable transportation is being felt worldwide, Unique EVs’ futureproofing of truly classic cars (it prioritises those before 1985), and even its recent shift towards more modern vehicles are thus incredibly timely at present. This is particularly the case for Australia, where there is a very strong car culture and there has been a broader increase recently in environmental concerns. As Cameron tells us, “challenges such as maintaining the original character of classic cars while integrating modern electric systems are seen as opportunities for innovation and market differentiation.” While many may view maintaining the elegance and innate class of a retro car, all while fitting it with the latest and greatest electric vehicle technologies, as an overwhelming task, Cameron and his small team of devout car enthusiasts revel in this challenge, leveraging their experience, problem-solving abilities, and a drive to pioneer in this space for the greater good, utilising a shared passion for heritage and technology to pave the way for the future of the sector. Speaking of the future, for Unique EVs, this is set to be marked by strategic expansion, with the team hoping to expand their operations to states in the east of the country over the next couple of years. Commenting on this, Cameron states, “this growth initiative is aimed at bringing Unique EVs’ expertise in electric vehicle conversions and classic electric sports cars to a wider audience, providing more enthusiasts with the opportunity to experience the blend of classic charm and modern, sustainable electric power.” Whatever car a prospective client may have and whatever their vision for it is, Cameron and the team are all ears when it comes to hearing about car dreams, and they are equally as passionate about making them happen. Moreover, aside from just conversions, Unique EVs also sells many classic and unique cars, this in addition to its providing of electric vehicle components for those keen DIYers who are seeking to set out on their own journey of converting their classic or unique cars to electric vehicles by themselves. With this all-encompassing approach to sustainable travel solutions in tow, one can be sure that regardless of what the future holds for Unique EVs, any projects or developments that it undertakes will serve only to further cement its frontrunner position in the EV conversion market, and we cannot wait to see some of the innovative and pioneering projects that this team of classic electric vehicle conversion specialists will tackle next.
