The electric blades are available from various suppliers but you may need more parts for a conversion https://www.justcaravanparts.co.uk/products/thetford-sc260-electric-blade

Have you contacted Thetford? Their email is info@thetford.eu

thank you for the fast reply.
Yes have sent email to thetford but no reply yet.
I have seen the youtube on fitting blade motor but the toilet control panel is changed to an FF 4 button (discontinued) and seems to control the motor for travel. i don't know enough about electronics to make a circuit board for this. Maybe in this day and age someone could come up with a unit (with motion sensor?) to open blade and turn on fan automatically?

I googled ‘electrify thetford toilet’and found a helpful video on YouTube and although the presenter said only available as a factory fit Roger has already posted the link to the part

I have had a reply from thetford.

Good afternoon

Thank you for your email.

This is not something that is currently in planning however I will forward your suggestion to the relevant department

Not exactly inspiring.
