Erik AblesonNow that’s something you don’t see everyday - a 1970s era Citroen DS that has been converted to a battery electric car.
stevenray@erik@mastodon.infrageeks.social would absolutely drive this.
I love the idea of converting old cars, but it seems like an expensive proposition.
Charlie Stross@stevenray@sfba.social @erik@mastodon.infrageeks.social There's a small but thriving specialist industry doing exactly that. Want an electric E-type Jaguar or an electric VW Camper, with bodywork and interior refurbished to as-new condition? There are vendors who will sell you those.

My first car was a 1973 Toyota Celica, purchased used in 1978. My dream the past few years is to find one, restore it, and convert it to an electric vehicle. IMO, responsible car restoration should look at battery conversion and move us away from fossil fuel consumption.
