E-crate engines

At some point, probably after we're dead a while, gasoline will be a novelty item that powers museum pieces and relics for the wealthy.

I actually agree with this completely. I fact, I fully understand how an electric only drivetrain is vastly superior to internal combustion engines. Once the battery technology catches up, there is zero reason to have internal combustion powered cars.



I have actually been thinking about doing an EV conversion on an older VW bug. My wife likes those cars a lot and it would be a fun project. EV West offers kits already, but I am waiting for the Tesla motor powered VW kits.

You could probably package the i3 driveline a lot easier. It's closer to the right size car and probably more readily (cheaply) available.
