Turning gas-fueled cars into electric ones can be four times cheaper than buying a new EV.

    This is a really cool idea. I never considered that something like this could happen.

    I’m guessing all the parts that actually make the car go are getting replaced. I wonder if this will catch on and we will see a resurgence of old cars being retrofitted.

      It’s been a thing for quite a while. I want to say about 10 years ago I was watching a bunch of off grid YouTube videos and more than a couple people turned their cars into short range EVs.

      More recently I’ve seen a few videos from a professional shop in Cali that does it for classic cars, also you have Jerry Rig Everything converting a Humvee.

      It’s been a thing and will probably end up being more and more common
