Britain\u2019s EV conversion newcomer, Arcade Cars, has come out swinging during Monterey Car Week, delivering the global debut of the Sojourn \u2013 a fully-restored, all-electric version of the classic \u201cG-Wagon\u201d from Mercedes-Benz. With powertrain tech from fellow EV conversion<\/a> specialist Everatti, the Sojourn is available for order now and will see a limited number of examples produced.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Arcade Cars was founded in 2023 by Rishav Kanoria and Felix Timmer \u2013 two car enthusiasts with solid ties to the auto industry who strive to develop unique vehicles that \u201cenhance the offerings available in the classic car market today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Arcade has taken a unique strategy in EV conversions. It focuses on acquiring ex-military transport vehicles built to perform in challenging and varying terrain, then restores them with next-generation technology and high-quality materials.<\/p>\n

The culmination of Arcade\u2019s efforts in its first year and a half is the Sojourn\u2014a reborn 230 GE, better known as the \u201cG-Class\u201d or \u201cG-Wagon,\u201d built by Mercedes-Benz from 1979 to 2001. The G-Wagon has evolved over the decades and is on the cusp of launching as an all-electric version called the \u201cG580 with EQ Technology.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

While we await an electric take on the G-Wagon from Mercedes coming in 2025, companies like Arcade Cars are looking back at the existing inventory of previous builds and are giving them new life. During Monterey Car Week, Arcade debuted the all-electric Sojourn today and will begin taking pre-orders.<\/p>\n

Arcade unveils \u201cSojourn\u201d electric G-Wagon in Monterey<\/h2>\n

Per an update from Arcade Cars, its all-electric Sojourn G-Wagon is making its global debut at the Pebble Beach Concours d\u2019Elegance<\/em> during 2024 Monterey Car Week. The restored 4\u00d74 will be displayed next to Everrati \u2013 an EV conversion specialist we\u2019ve covered plenty on Electrek<\/em><\/a>, <\/em>who developed an advanced electric powertrain for Arcade Cars as a development partner.<\/p>\n

The remastered electric G-Wagon is equipped with a 55kWh battery and 153PS\/300Nm torque e-motor that delivers 150 miles of range\u00a0and will be customizable to suit each customer\u2019s preferences. Per Arcade Cars co-founder and CEO Rishav Kanoria:<\/p>\n

\n

Following our recent launch, we\u2019re delighted to be here in Pebble Beach giving the Sojourn the public debut it deserves at one of the world\u2019s premier automotive events. Since we first took the wraps off our redefined G Class, we\u2019ve been inundated with expressions of interest. Arcade Cars was born out of a realization that there exists a deep longing for the elegance, charm and unique character of products of a different era \u2013 and the response we\u2019ve received certainly underscores that. We look forward to further conversations in California.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We\u2019re also pleased to have joined forces with Everrati, its proprietary OEM-grade powertrains set the benchmark for state-of-the-art, high-performance systems. The electric version of the Sojourn, co-developed with Everrati, blends the charm of a classic with all the benefits of e-mobility, offering our customers the ability to preserve the original driving experience while embracing a more contemporary, fully electric transformation. Quieter, faster, greener.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Customers can also choose between the original G-Class 8-seat \u2018long-bench\u2019 configuration or a six-seat option that includes two bucket seats up front, two passenger jump seats in the middle, and two fold-down seats in the rear. <\/p>\n

Other features include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto-enabled touch control systems, retro-inspired Bluetooth camouflaged in electric G-Wagon\u2019s dashboard, and a choice of premium speakers with a hidden subwoofer.<\/p>\n

Following its global debut, Arcade Cars says it has opened its order books<\/a> for the Sojourn electric G-Wagon and is taking a limited number of exclusive pre-orders during Monterey Car Week. Initial customer deliveries are expected to begin in late 2024.<\/p>\n
