More and more mechanics and weekend hobbyists have started transforming their vintage cars into electric vehicles. There are now millions of electric vehicles on US roadways, with major car companies investing billions in EV development. It seems like the way of the future.
Electrify Your Classic For New Thrills
In one survey of 25,000 classic car enthusiasts, about 25% of respondents supported hybrid or full EV conversions. Some of them even talked about why they support electric conversions
- EVs offer faster acceleration and better performance.
- They can work on a fun, challenging project.
- Many believe that this is the answer to their concerns about emissions.
- They get to be the first in on a new trend.
Feeding The Need For Speed
Many classic cars were fast compared to other vehicles from the same era but struggle to match the speed of modern vehicles. Converting your hot rod to an electric vehicle can help you close the gap since electric motors convert over 85% of their energy to mechanical energy. In other words, speed.
Modern Conveniences & Classic Good Looks
Classic car enthusiasts love the look of a vintage car just as much as they love getting the most performance. Classic vehicles have a unique personality and history to them that many people want to preserve and even future-proof. Converting a classic car to an electric one keeps your beloved vehicle running at its peak for longer.
We Revive Classics With Electric Makeovers
Classic cars all have internal combustion engines that run on gas. To complete a full conversion, you have to remove the engine and battery and add an electric motor, instrumentation, and high-voltage cables. This process is easier with lighter vehicle bodies, like many classic cars, which lets you get even more performance out of your converted vehicle.
