But there are still a lot of gas cars on the road today and there will be for a long time. EV conversions are becoming a bigger trend that could help. Both the shops and aftermarket community are growing substantially to meet the new demand.

Step 1:

This is what I would define as delicious.
In 10 years…I hope that conversions are cheaper and more accessible to the masses. I own a 2013 BRZ that I bought new July 2012…she has a 100k of love on her, and nearly 100% stock. One day I hope to make the conversion.
