QUESTION OF THE WEEK
RAJEEV NARAYAN
In the 1970s we lived as expatriates in Zambia where my father was a plant manager at a Copper cable manufacturing factory. At that time we had a company car, a 1968 Mercedes-Benz 200D, which is very stately classic 4 door sedan, with a 4 cylinder 1.9 liter diesel engine. It was a very well built and beautiful car that I have fond memories of. It would be amazing to see it back on the road as an electric vehicle.
Cameron Hall
I would convert the 1986 Toyota Celica GT-S I once owned. The 'S' stood for the suspension which was from the Supra!
Jim Myers
My 1962 E type Jaguar. Spun a rod bearing 2 weeks after I bought it and took 3 shops and 2 years to find someone who could rebuild the engine. I live in Washington State. Loved driving that car.
Victor Wood
I would convert my old Toyota MR2 Roadster.
Benjamin Ford
I would convert my Peugeot Partner. Such a versatile vehicle for a family. Cheap to buy, had ours from new, lasted 13 years before becoming too expensive to repair. With a decent motor and battery it would still make a good vehicle for our needs. Love our LEAF!
D Whatley
EV Conversion? My 21 yr old 1999 Mercedes SLK230. I loved this car and didn't trade it in but now it sits undriven since buying my 2018 M3
David Guerriero
QUESTION OF THE WEEK. I currently drive a 2012 Audi A5 convertible, bought used with low miles. LOVE IT! Will they ever build a convertible EV? I buy my cars lightly used. My next car will be an EV or high ev miles PHEV. I can not afford to buy a brand new car/EV that I like. My EV will be used unless I hit the lottery!
JIM PARTRIDGE
I answer the Citroen ID-19 (also owned a couple DS-21’s so they would be fine. Back “in the day.”)
I currently stretched my budget and bought a Model 3 (last September.) Love all the electric parts, but I thought the Citroens rode better and were narrower. Definitely the ride (I would guess the: inboard disk brakes, comfortable seats, and space packaging don’t count anymore vs. the Model 3) The Hydro-peunmatic Ride system and a bit narrower car are the important parts.
SERVULUS BILLY
It was 1984 in Indianapolis when I drove by the dealer with no intention or previous thought of buying a new car..... and there she stood elevated above all the other cars as if to say here I am! Hahaha. I was hooked an immediate made a uturn.... a lil negotiation and a new line of credit and we were together .... a 1983 Chevy Camaro with T-tops in metallic blue I was in love. Hahaha. Yes given the option this would be my electrified car. Sadly she was totaled by a drunk driver in 1988. I cried like a baby....really!...... love lost. RIP my Chey. I surely enjoyed my time with that car....great memories indeed.
PHILIP TRAUTMAN
This just about the first QOTW that required no thought whatsoever. I owned a Honda Element from 2005 until 2019 when we gave it to our grandson. Despite having the aerodynamics and styling of a toaster, I loved that car. The utilitarian inside swallowed almost anything I tried to put in it without getting destroyed, and rugged exterior panels meant less to worry about on the outside too. Even when I bought the car in 2005, I remember thinking there was plenty of room for a battery and hoping for a future EV version.
Now we’re moving, and I miss the utility of that car. Honda stopped making it in 2011, and even gas versions are hard to find. An EV model, of course, never materialized.
MARK, MAINE USA
I wish my current car, a 2014 Subaru Crosstrek hybrid could be a full electric. I love the AWD and ground clearance. It’s not much of a hybridwith a 7kwh battery but I’d love it with an all electric drivetrain.
QUESTION OF THE WEEK
…we take a break for a week and QotW is back on Sunday 10th May
