About
REVR offers a cost-effective, rapid solution for converting internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles into hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), addressing rising fuel costs and emissions. Unlike full electric conversions, which are complex and expensive, REVR’s system uses compact, high-torque motors to achieve hybrid functionality at a fraction of the cost. Designed for ease of installation, REVR’s approach enhances vehicle lifespan and efficiency while minimising environmental impact. This innovative retrofit technology supports sustainable transport solutions with minimal material consumption and broad applicability

Alexander Burton
Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT)
Alexander is a serial maker of things. Tinkering before he could walk, from chopstick skates to a tarp hangglider. Sustainable solutions have been a theme of his inventions from a young age. Floating wind turbines, a solar collector that pulls carbon out of the air turning it into nanofibers and now a new way to electrify cars. Alex has grown up in Melbourne, he now attends the Royal Melbourne Institue of Technology University where he studies Systems Engineering and Industrial Design. 2 years ago Alex started Rapid Electric Vehicle Retrofits (REVR) and continues to work with a small engineering team.
