Electric Vehicle Conversions: A Solution for Sustainable Mobility
Shifting towards electric mobility does not have to involve getting rid of traditional gas-powered cars and purchasing new electric vehicles. A solution can be found in converting existing vehicles to electric. Consumers who prefer their current gas-powered cars can opt for retrofitting, where the car is converted into electric. Dean Kneider's RiiSE EV company specializes in converting muscle and sports cars into electric vehicles. Together with host Ken Hendricks, Kneider discussed the environmental impact of car conversions, along with the benefits of keeping older vehicles on the road longer through conversion, as well as challenges such as government regulations, consumer skepticism, and more.
