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.
