This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Best thing for consumers and environmental would be conversion. We already have the cars. I like my 2003 Golf. I won't be getting rid of it until I need to.
Why replace 8 billion cars when we can convert them. Yeah they won't be nearly as efficient but it's a stop gap between scrapping that many cars. Also I can't afford a new ev. I need a small run around with 259 miles.
I have had a handful of that generation golf over the years that I have modified. It would be absurdly simple to drop an electric motor into that thing if the right kit existed.
Funny is that the way things have been going the last few years, if there's a kit for your car, it's probably based on parts from a crashed Tesla. Which is a good thing, IMO
