Signing up to the MOG was something of a late night impulse. I do like the look of classic roadsters, and the MEV Replicar caught my eye in particular.
As the user name might reveal (Denki Jidousha = 電気自動車) means electric car in Japanese, and I have no interest in driving a fossil fuel car - full battery electric vehicles (BEV) for me. There are a few firms converting classic cars to electric (e.g. the VW Beetle is popular), and kits are starting to be offered. Maybe there is a small market for a EV kit car? I see MEV are selling plans for an electric trike (which has an entire sub-forum here).
I was pleasantly surprised to learn MEV did a chassis and electric running gear mevltd.co.uk/kit-cars/ev for what is now the Luka EV mwmotors.cz/luka-ev/
I watched couple of YouTube videos from 2019 of Stuart Mills' unfinished prototype electric Exocet www.youtube.com/user/millecar - and at least one of their Rocket kit cars is being converted to electric: mevowners.proboards.com/thread/2788/jack-dads-build-rocket - are there others?
