I’m just starting my research about EV conversions and was hoping to get some advice on if there are any particular models and makes that lend themselves best to an EV conversion? (Like a 1960/70s MG maybe……)?

I keep hearing pre 80’s is a good tule of thumb but best to check with the ship doing the conversion
That rule of thumb definitely plays into the car makes I like. Thank you :)
Less electronics/computer complexity to deal with makes for a Far better conversion project.
Nowadays, the computers all talk to each other, and if they don’t like their new EV co-working conditions, they all vote to go on strike… so you basically have to scrap everything with a computer, and replace it with old-school anyway. (unless there’s plenty of info out there on the specific model with prior knowledge of how-to bypass it or adapt it)
Also best choice is something that’s approximately the same track width as a donor… like using a rear drive system AND suspension from a Tesla Model 3/Y.
I wonder if five years from now a lot more ev conversion shops will allow average folks who don’t want to drive a boring car to bring a classic back to life with modern technologies
