Title: 230sl EV Conversion
Post by: Tyler S on March 24, 2017, 23:29:19

Looks like someone is going to convert a 230sl to electric drive. I happened upon this guys youtube channel last night. At first I was a bit pissed thinking he was going to trash a great car but then found out the car has already been cut into and a Ford V-8 added. He has a few videos up on his channel and looks to know what he is doing considering the other EV cars he has converted. Anyway, a few to watch while cringing or smiling.

At one point, we may have to convert or install an add-on electric engine, unless a better idea is found meantime. Petrol may just become some luxury whims.
I have no doubt that our Pagodas will live up to that times, but would we? :) Hopefully.
