1. crazy story, well stories!

2. I’d like one

3. He shouldn't be allowed to touch any cars for turning works of art into EV pieces of trash. And those who actual paid for those conversions. They are not a car enthusiast. But can't knock his hustle when idiots want to pay for trash

4. Absolutely loving these people stepping up to make resto kits. What I think we need now are good hybrid retrofit kits, particularly diesel electric for trucks (referring to EdisonMotors but haven't been hearing very good things with them recently ;-; )

5. (where cars given a choice they woud all be electric )

6. He is a destructive selfish fool

7. I had/have a client who has asked for a ev conversion and I went down the rabbit hole of conversion but then I realized that what we like about gas cars is everything that is terrible about them…….they stink they have too much service and service parts and the e clunky shifting transmissions………now I’m completely lost on ev conversion (and I like ev and own both ev n gas)……..keep shitty gas cars gas……ev is awesome just not in a classic car not designed in anyway to be ev……..like any modification there’s a advantage and disadvantage……..so you end up making excuses for issues

8. There's no way this can be cost effective. Your car your money.

9. Not an air cooled porsche.. but a 996 or boxyer 987. Great

10. Junk ev vomit 🤮

11. If it pisses off the Porsche mooks, I'm all for it!

12. holy yappington

13. Any wreck salvage coverted to EV is just awesome to me.

14. Chris is such an awesome guy, hat chance to meet him in London at event, you can really see his passion for building such a great EV cars, and Fellten as a company great work

15. I have never driven an electric vehicle ill rent one some day but I drive to much for one and im not interested. I like Fuel 😊

16. Not only purists hate you, but every normal person too

17. So cool

18. The LandRover would be an automotive Push-me-pull-you.

19. Making classics relevant again.

20. Chris is a #LEGEND in person, I had the pleasure thanks to #Petrolheadonism 😎👍👋 , these cars are done sympathetically which is great love the Mini 🤯

21. Specific starts with an “s” (not a p).

22. EVs may have fewer parts, but the ones they do have are finicky, troublesome and have the added nonsense of having to be programmed to work with the vehicle. It was a better thing to just have to mechanically bolt a nonstandard engine into a chassis that wasn't originally made for it and get it to run through straightforward wrenching. Adding complexity is not progress.

23. I had a Spitfire I always thought would make a great EV swap.

24. The hatred is justified

25. The only person whose thoughts matter are the owners

26. I worked at Fellten and took a lot of the pictures that were shown! Awesome place with clever people doing cool EV things 🙂

27. Shame the the Australian branch charges 400k aud to do the Landrover conversations and is run by morons

28. Yeah converting rare ICE cars to EVs is sacrilegious

29. love ev conversions.

30. This was an excellent story! Would love an old Alpha EV’d!

31. fuel is from old plants NOT animals. it is a myth that fossil fuel are from animal fossils but is actual plant fossils.

32. I wish I could afford this. More than likely I'll have to learn to do it myself. Purist can go suckit. The vintage car you turn your nose up to because you think it's junk, that's my treasure i can save with an EV Swap

33. This is worse than ricing a car.

34. I love watching his videos!!!!! Stoked to see this interview

35. The Voldemort game is strong with this one…

36. Your property your choice. Leave everyone else alone. Let the market decide.

37. You gotta have a certain level of prissy hipster douche to electrify some of these cars.

38. If its wrecked or no one wants to fix then sure make ot a ev. Older generation keeps screaming sacrilege meanwhile its ok not to pay proper salaries to the younger gen them wounder why they cant afford it…

39. They're not making these cars anymore, so to turn them into glorified toasters is disgraceful

40. Love me some engine noise, but EV conversions are sweet

41. I would pay good money for a bolt in replacement EV kit for my classic pickup. EV's are so ridiculously expensive over here, it would be economical to import a kit and do it myself. But then the politicians slapped a 200% tax on EV cars to protect the local manufacturers. So it will still cost as much as a house…..

42. The cool thing about what Fellten do is that they are bolt in conversions, meaning they are completely reversible!

    Seems crazy that people hate on it! There’s tonnes of people out there butchering cars and doing irreversible damage, but not these guys!

43. Electric is cool. It’s the non-car wheenies and authoritarian government douche-nozzles who make them uncool.

44. Some people hate everything…just ask Karen she’ll be happy to tell you

45. End of the day, running and driving is always better than sitting and rotting (even if it's garaged). As much as I prefer internal combustion over electric, I'd rather see classics on the road, than hidden away somewhere never to see the light of day again.
