    Woudnt it be a better idea just to offer standard EV kits to turn combustion engine cars into EVs?

    It’s unattainable for a low budget player to create and certify a car, and support it with parts for 20 years.

    Just create a kit to turn your 10 year old VW into an EV, and let VW support the parts outside of EV domain

      parts for 20 years

      i think the good thing about an open source car is that we could crowdsource, or even make some parts ourselves, no?

      daily driving conversions and heavily modified vehicles can get annoying, but something that has it in it’s design…
