@kyle Wow, of course... when there is a market, things can be invented. I didn't know about this kind of conversion existed, tnx for link. I don't have a car, never have had, but my dad have a "almost new" in my view Volvo S60 from 2007. Maybe it can get a 2nd life as EV. By the way, your link reminds I read about the Mars II Electric manufactured in the 1960s.
