Talk Morgan Forums Thread Like Summary - Classic conversions to EV.

Apologies to those unlike me who have no interest in Porsche vehicles, however I suspected there might be enough interest in the advances in the last decade in one company converting Classics to become EV`s ...?

As a BEV owner & an owner of two ICE cars I can only ask why. Keep them pure as ICE cars & buy an MG cyberster

While I find my Tesla to well suit the requirements of the old man I have become, while I can still enjoy the wonders of the ICE, I can not imagine that I might wish to convert the likes of any old sports/classic car to become an EV....
As ever, each to their own..

I converted my 1960s Solex 3800 to electric; it's perfect for going to buy a baguette, Camembert cheese, and a bottle of Bordeaux :

Nestors Solex looks very smart and brings back good memories.

Where it still has the petrol engine, isn’t it actually a hybrid though - making it a cutting edge motorbike as I am not aware of any other hybrid bike in existence ?

I giggled at this bit 'The only thing I like whirring is the hoover and that's marginal on a good day'

That's brilliant. I'd have one of those in a moment...
YouTube video:

When you convert a classic to an EV you are changing it to a modern car with a classic body. Unless its some very rare beast, I don't see why not. Plenty of classics have minor mods (unleaded valve seats, ethanol-capable fuel lines, GPS system, etc). Major mods might be a different engine (eg a V8 into a TR7). An EV drivetrain is an extreme mod, but if it suits the owner eg to enable them to drive in a no-emission zone) .... then its their car so why not? Of course for the same price they could buy a separate EV, but Morgan owner should never criticize others for "wasting money"
