What is one of the major complaints that we hear about electric cars? Supposedly they are ugly. In today’s episode we are not going to persuade you that the designs of the new models deserve to exist but would rather suggest you take a look at the fresh EVs inspired by the retro trends and electric conversions of the old-time classics. In today’s video electric propulsion meets the beauty of the past!

When will we see a new Citroën DS which really IS like a DS, just a little better? If that's even possible…
Luka EV. YES PLEASE come to Canada and take my money
Renovó is on to something big. And that Luka EV is gorgeous.
2hours to recharge? why? no more gear shifting? no more vavavoom sound from a v10? the future seems very boring
What a shame to do that to classic cars especially DB5 and DB6
An electric mustang shouldn't exist
Beautiful designs will stand the test of time …whether it be old designs or brand new ones
We can’t modifying cars to ev here I n oz….we don’t even get new evs apart from a few Tesla’s. We are so backward here.
That awful robo-voice makes this video all but unwatchable.
I would love to see more older cars electrified

Retro electric cars are the future!

Cool, Never change a classic design and lose its soul.
The Peugeot E-Legend looks perfect! The body looks so refined and modern and the interior has some of the nicest looking seats I've ever seen in any vehicle!
All 4 cyl deserves modify to EV.
No love loss there.
However, EV Daytona is sacrelegous. That's not gangsta.
The Russian siri is hard to understand.
Fuckit. gas n diesel is where it's at. I'm in a hurry to eat a steak dinner somewhere. I'm a vicious polluting omnivore. So sue me.
NONE are worth the price tag They are asking. $250-529,000, Then there's depreciation ? Naaaah !

I like the concept but the companies need to work on naming- we can't have all cars having vague names like eRoadster, especially when there's gonna be alot of them in the future.
That e legend is a beautiful looking car

I still prefer the sound of that gas and diesel engines.
I better spend my money on thous cars
I plan on doing myself.
I like new and reworked EV’s. I want a Porsche 356 or something like that.
We have the chassis. The ultimate form of conservation is to not dig up and refine the materials for a chassis when we have millions and millions of them.
Conversions are way cooler and better for the planet 🙂

Honda e-prototype! OMG how cool and relatively affordable is that. Don't care how, I want it now!
