Electric cars

Anyone remember when Chrysler showed off an EV Wrangler, circa 2008? (And an all-electric Dodge sportscar.) What ever ended up happening with that? (Best we have now is a crappy hybrid, that actually gets worse mileage than the diesel!)

There’s apparently at least one shop that will convert older Wranglers: https://erevon.com/

And though it’s now a bit dated, this Porsche 951 conversion is slick: http://951ev.blogspot.com

I really dig the way Aston-Martin has approached the coming shift; their Heritage EV program provides “an entirely self-contained electric motor unit that uses the original engine and gearbox mounts from the classic Aston being converted to electric power ... [enabling the customer] to swap back the original engine and five-speed manual” if they ever want to.

Whatever the date (2030, 2035 ...?), it’s looming.
