There was an article on the ABC news today. It included information about a fully restored and electrified Datsun 1200 ute. Zero to 100kmh in under 6 seconds. Also mentioned is a business in Queensland doing "electro modding". Once cells become cheaper, a conversion will not necessarily be more expensive than placing a high powered engine into an older car. The classic school of thought is for the sound and smells of an ICE vehicle as well as maintaining originality. On the other side, you would have a car with the looks and presence of an old timer but with the convenience of cheap running costs that is always ready for a cruise. That this article has appeared in mainstream and conservative media is suggestive of the change occurring in transport. https://mobile.abc.net.au/news/science/2021-10-18/converting-classic-cars-to-electric-vehicles/100533104
