Anyone see this. Or post about it. If it’s been discussed I will remove this post. Just saw it. Looks pretty cool 260 brake horsepower. That would take the fun out of having people stuck behind you going uphill.. https://www.topgear.com/car-news/retro/these-updated-classics-play-whole-idea-restomodding
Like all these things. 260HP electric motor with how many horsepower-hours battery .. probably about 100. (75kWH) .. so flat out its 20 mins driving.
But WHAT a 20 minutes you’d have! to be fair, most of our lot are only ever 20 minutes away from having to stop anyway - some for an urgent repair, some just for a wee.
I wonder if you can have a dummy dizzy fitted as an optional extra, so people can still satisfy their obsession with tinkering.......
You will replace the overheating Pertronix with a battery coolant fault warning ... Then spend ages charging it up because it almost certainly will not be fitted with a high power charger.
It would be fine on an empty panel van I guess. I'd be interested too read the final curb weight after the conversation. I can never remember the guys name who did the split in the US with his own power bank and solar at home that had good range If I recall.
