  • What about Melissa Hortman?

  • Yeah and most expensive. Fairly affordable to keep an old car alive with less electronics than new cars.

    Good to know car recycling is strong. Still take a lot of energy to recycle and old car and build a new one.

    I have a 2001 QX4 going strong, but the mpg is pretty bad and only getting worse as the years go by in comparison to newer vehicles. Would love a hybrid kit for it. I’ve seen there are electric hubs like on a bike that you can attach by company called REVR.

  • I’m saying a hybrid conversion, so keeping ICE but adding electric assist. I guess that’s a huge undertaking and doesn’t look like any reputable manufacturers are doing it. But I think they could if they wanted to.

    Electric conversion seems to have some reputable companies, but still small.

    I saw a company called REVR trying to do something with hubs like an e-bike: https://www.revr.tech/

  • But they do exist

    I imagine it could be produced and executed for less than $20-30K if it was mass produced.

  • Do they sell a whole kit? Looks like it’s missing parts.

  • It’s fun and can be a total headache but such a good feeling when you first get it off the ground.

  • And how nobody will face any consequences for it

  • What’s not possible? Upgrade kits or that somebody would do it?

  • Same! Curious if there’s any vibration in the video.

  • Can we just have a reliable automaker create hybrid upgrade kits for older cars?

  • Big Pharma will make sure this doesn’t see the light of day any time soon and RFK and his ilk will help them do it.
