Marv from Sin City movie famously quipped “all modern cars are like electric shavers - they lack soul”. I’d say the same for the most modern electric cars. They are just booooring 🥱
But rise of the electric cars makes it easier for small startups to retrofit classic cars to electric, build a classic car from scratch, or even come up with their own design of a car.
Sadly this is unlikely to become mainstream. First, it is expensive. Currently, the cheapest conversion will cost you around $20000, on top of the cost of your classic vehicle. Built-up from scratch one will cost anywhere from $150000 to $500000. Second, car corporations are just dull. They won’t make anything that won’t please a largest possible audience.
Cheaper batteries will help to spread such customization. Alternatively, a built-to-order business model could do that. Make a universal platform and snap any car body you like on top. Do you think this is scaleable?
