So you'll be able to electrify classics. Ultimate restomod. I wonder how the batter packs will work though, they did it on an old K5 Blazer and used the whole rear area for the battery. Do they need to wide+flat like that or will other form factors work (I.e., maybe replacing the gas tank?
Interesting idea, but if there's a set of vehicles that should have an internal combustion engine, classic cars should be them.

For a drag-strip wonder, sure, electrics all the way.

A mint 1970 Dodge Challenger or 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle? It doesn't seem right to not have a V8 rumble and big-cam lopey idle.
