The times they are changing. I am generally not interested in electrically powered vehicles but.............. it catches my attention when someone has the ingenuity to put a battery pack from a Chrysler Pacifica into an old Chevy convertible, and it makes equivalent of 1.000 hp,

The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

Yea he said it’s good for about 220 kilometers. That’s only about 130 miles. Useless! Can you say garage ornament?

But that's a lot farther then most weekend cruisers travel so no big deal IMO. It's not like he's looking for that with a 50+ year old classic resto-mod. Bet if he toned it back he could get as much if not more range out of it.........yeah that would be a lot of fun rolleyes I appreciate the tech thought and how it was done.......make that well done up

I drive my classics a lot farther than 130 miles on a week end cruise.

Exactly, I think it's perfect as is. Stupidly quick and quiet. The only things I don't care for as much are the EV dash and the air ride switches being so obvious, I'd probably try to figure out a way to hide those. But I really dig it and think it's a perfect cruiser!
