    Theres a couple scattered companies but its still expensive on a raw manpower and time level. Still better to use what we have IMO than make something new, you should only abandon things like cars when the frame itself breaks.

      This doesn’t sound realistic at all at the moment. It’s not even remotely simple (or cost-effective) to convert the vast majority of existing cars to electric.

        No but it should still be an option. Also kits could simplify it down, especially if you use as much of the original parts as possible. For example using the drive train.
