It is a trend that is depopulating in Great Britain, mainly, but it will soon arrive here as well. In this way, with a large expense incurred in one go, you can solve the petrol problem forever.
Maintaining a classic car entails honors and charges, this is clear: it is obvious that your Lamborghini Countach, the Mercedes-Benz Pagoda that you have in your garage or your grandfather’s original Citroen 2CV are very important cars from a historical point of view but it would not be better if they were electric to fill up a little less expensive? Better still, what would happen if a very distant tomorrow – but perhaps not too much – the European Union proposed a law that prevents petrol and diesel cars from circulating to limit pollution?
Our they are just guesses, we repeat it before you run into the garage to destroy your old Bentley or on Facebook to write a post outraged against the new anti-pollution regulations! But the question remains: isn’t there a way to make classic cars greener that could even extend their life by a few more years? Maybe even allowing you to save if the price of gasoline does not go down.
In Britain, they developed this very interesting and vintage solution that VIPs like David Beckham have already adopted. The most famous footballer in Great Britain has in fact decided to make it eco-friendly the Jaguar destined for his son with a small mechanical intervention. Sure, the price isn’t insignificant, but it’s worth it.
Abracadabra, the car no longer pollutes!
In English-speaking countries, Great Britain and Australia first of all, the trend of converting vintage cars to electric is literally depopulating. We do not climb into a complex and boring explanation of how the intervention takes place, also because it varies from workshop to workshop. The bottom line is this: your classic car is reborn with a brand new electric motor. The replacement can also involve the transmission if you wish, but there the costs increase exponentially.
The modification can affect any car even if for obvious reasons, very rare cars produced in maybe five or ten units in all at least in our opinion should not be subjected to this mechanical intervention for historical reasons. According to a person who works in a plant in Australia, the customers are not few: “There are more and more people who love their electric car but find it easier to manage an electric motor “, explains mechanic Ken Macken.
And let’s hear, how much does it cost to convert my 1970s Porsche 911 to electric? Enough, but not too much: the intervention can cost between 20,000 and 25,000 Dollars, on average with the costs that they can increase in the case of cars with very complex and delicate mechanics. It can be a nice investment: think about the money you will save at the gas pump.
