My dream car is a Nash Metropolitan converted to an EV.
That would be fucking dope. I'd love for retrofuturist cars like this to appear
That's a pretty sweet ride.
I wish we got the Honda E. Would buy that up in a heartbeat.
Definitely would love a Honda E, got a Chevy Bolt EV as it seemed like the next best option here.
I'm usually not a hatch fan but that little car looked awesome. I got my last new gas powered manual transmission car before EVs are the main thing. Since I work from home and don't drive a bunch my plan is to keep it as long as I can and get an EV in 4-5 years when hopefully infrastructure catches up a bit and more manufacturers have an option and work out small kinks.
Same with a 1959 Panhard PL 17. Some of those little old cars are just beautiful.
Bro if you could get a used leaf gen one (they run around 4k), you could take that thing to a drag strip and absolutely turn some heads.
I have a friend who wants to take my gen one leaf and do a conversion. He just went to an EV mechanics course on it.
I've only seen one in person once, but I've loved it for years.
Lovely car! Btw: how do you put a picture in a comment? What sorcery is this?
I'm on desktop, so how I do it is right-click, copy image, then just paste into the post. Not sure how to do it on mobile.
Oh! Ok. I don’t know if that possible in Mlem (iOS app). Thanks!
Got it! it just needs the
markdown formatting. Thanks a lot. Cheers!
