Retrofitting EV Systems into Classic Cars

March 16, 2022 by Walter Gefrom Leave a Comment

It can be done! At the Moment Motor Company in Austin, Texas, turning your classic car into an electric vehicle is a project taken on every single day. Walter Gefrom discusses this weird mashup:

EVs are growing in popularity each year.  And it’s no surprise why, especially with the way these gas prices are only continuing to soar!  But what about retrofitting a classic car for an EV battery install?  It can be done, and at the Moment Motor Company, it’s done every day.  But should it be?  As a classic car connoisseur, Walter Gefrom is a bit torn on this one.  While it’s certainly cool and very interesting, it does take away key components of what makes a classic… well, a classic!  Will retrofitting these vehicles for EV engines make them last longer?  Possibly.  But the ride that’s so beloved by so many collectors simply will not be the same — for better, or for worse.  Walter can definitely see a lot of purists having issues with this one.  How do you feel?
