Not sure if anyone has seen the TV series Vintage Voltage but its well worth a watch it your into cars or contemplating an EV. A firm in Wales takes classic vintage cars and turns them into EVs with some really startling results. What i found interesting is they strip down and explain all the technology behind it and explain about electric motors, battery and charging tech etc.
Really interesting and entertaining program

I enjoy the programme but my goodness, have you seen the prices they charge!
The Kharman Ghia they did cost £30K and that’s without the cost of the car!
Current car: Mini Countryman EV in very shiny black!
Previous car: MG HS Exclusive in nice shiny black.

Ha Ha yes they are very expensive, puts the price of EVs in perspective though when it costs 20k for a second hand Tesla motor. Enjoyed the Photon motorcycle and i believe they are now selling it as a production model.

Yeah but would that even be possible ? just googling the hyper motor comes up at 3.5k then you have the batteries. I would like to see them do a small bespoke city car from scratch to see how much they could get a 100 mile ranger done for. What i really want to see is the Rolls Royce phantom long wheel base with a 500 mile range lol…….start saving now

Oh, you’ve started me off with this! I would kill to have an original Citroen DS “Goddess” EV’d. It’d have to be 4×4. And the big floor area should hold a good few gallons of battery – to delivery a really decent performance, the only thing the original lacked with that poor engine.
I’m waiting for them to do a Landrover Defender with a electric motor powering each wheel…… ? Serious off-road and towing grunt.
Sounds brilliant, Landyman. Having driven a Defender with the old “Leyland” V8 off-road (and enjoyed enormously) I’d like one too! Have to be sure it was the proper slab-sided, foldy-screen original, not this new arty-farty Chelsea tractor version!

OMG yes, that thing is art on wheels
