Hell I'll take a clunker to e-clunker conversion kit plan.
Is that something that's even remotely viable? I mean I'm sure it's technically possible but there's way more to it than just an engine swap, I'm not sure it would be any cheaper than just building a new car.
I mean poor folk aren't getting any cheap options anytime soon, new or used. It'd be nice to have the option for a $7k-9k conversion, but with a decent rebate to make it viable, along with the ability to pay over time. And EV conversions seems to have gone down in cost than when I last looked, if we can get it down even more heck yeah!
I would love to see that, if nothing else than to give classic cars new life as EVs or hybrids. Probably not something for purist-type collectors who want to keep things as stock as possible, but there are so many absolutely iconic old cars that I would love to continue to see kept alive.
New EVs in China are going for 10k, so it's clearly possible...
You can convert a clunker but it would not be cheap. Batteries alone are fairly pricey.
