What They Do
Blue Dot Motorworks builds bolt-on electric drive systems that convert existing gas and diesel cars into plug-in hybrids without replacing the engine.
Why It Might Be the Next Big Thing
Fleet electrification is slowed by high EV prices and long replacement cycles. Retrofitting the cars already on the road is a lower-cost, faster path to emissions reduction.
Snapshot
Retrofit system designed for installation in about a day
Aims to deliver 30–45 miles of electric range depending on the vehicle
Targeting both personal vehicles and commercial fleets
Positioned within the growing retrofit and upcycling segment of climate tech
My Take
Electrification doesn’t have to start with new cars. Blue Dot’s retrofit model is a practical approach that aligns well with infrastructure realities.
