Someone is bound to start selling conversion kits for regular cars eventually - turn your 20 year old gas dinosaur into a zippy EV or hybrid, no spyware required. We can already do it with two-wheelers, and Edison Motors is well on their way to making kits to turn big trucks into hybrids.

That actually would be pretty cool. Especially mid sized SUVs that have AWD

I tried this more than 15 years ago...

Besides money, batteries and a lot of effort you know why it did not work?

AUTHORITIES they would not "license" a converted car from gas to electric.

and YES the SAME AUTHORITIES that are saying now and pretend to care about environment and push all these EVs and Hybrids to "Save our Planet"

Fucking hypocrites!
