Safety and compliance
Safety is the first spec on every pack.
How we engineer, label, and review designs, and what owners and shops should know about titling, insurance, and registration.
High voltage work
Classic conversions commonly run packs from 300 to 450 volts DC. Contact at these voltages can be fatal. Every RESTOVOLT pack and configurator result carries a high voltage notice, and our assembly checklists require lockout and tagout, insulation resistance testing, and a documented commissioning log.
- Use Class 0 insulated gloves with leather protectors and insulated tools rated to 1000 V.
- Install a manual service disconnect and verify zero energy before any HV work.
- Fuse the pack at the source and use orange HV conduit for every HV conductor.
Structural and non-structural parts
Every part in a Fitment Pack is labeled by what it does and how it may be made.
Structural parts carry loads: motor mounts, adapter plates, battery box frames, and skid plates. They must be machined or metal printed from the specified alloy. Non-structural parts such as clips, bezels, and harness guides can be printed in-house. Downloading structural designs requires acknowledgment of our structural design terms.
Engineering review
Structural designs are reviewed by a licensed mechanical engineer before publication. Each pack shows its review date and the number of field proven builds. Engineer reviewed
Certified Installer program
Certified Installers have completed HV safety training, submitted a documented build for review, and maintain liability insurance. Certification is renewed annually and is shown on shop profiles.
Titling, insurance, and registration
Rules vary widely by state and country. In general:
- Titling. Some states require the fuel type on the title to change to electric. This may involve an inspection or a form at the DMV.
- Registration. Several states charge an annual EV fee in place of fuel tax. Classic or historic plates may still apply depending on use limits.
- Emissions. Converted vehicles are often exempt from tailpipe testing, but documentation of the conversion may be required.
- Insurance. Use an agreed value policy and provide the build documentation, parts receipts, and installer certification to your insurer.
Always confirm local rules with your DMV, inspection authority, and insurer before and after conversion. This page is general information, not legal advice.
