Here at SHIFT, we think electric cars are great \u2014 obviously. But we\u2019ve got a particular soft spot for classic cars that have been converted to have electric drivetrains.<\/p>\n

Sadly, it\u2019s complicated to bring a beloved vintage motor into the 21st century with batteries and electric motors. Though EV conversion specialist Zero Labs is looking to change it with its \u201cclassic electric platform<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Put simply, it\u2019s a complete and ready-to-go electric car chassis, which only needs a body to be placed on top and the controls connecting up.<\/p>\n

<\/i><\/a>The Zero Labs platform is a fully functioning, ready-to-go electric car, all it needs is a body dropping on it and it\u2019s pretty much good to go.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

According to Zero Labs, this platform can be used to replace the drivetrain of classic muscle cars, two-door coupes, 4x4s, and pickup trucks.<\/p>\n

Unlike other classic car conversions which only replace the engine, gearbox, and fuel tank, the platform replaces all the running gear, including brakes, suspension, and chassis.<\/p>\n

With that in mind, you can be sure that it will have the handling characteristics of a modern car.<\/p>\n

The platform can be spec\u2019d out with either an 85 or 100 kWh battery. The bigger of the two is good for up to 235 miles of range, but that could be hugely affected by the aerodynamic profile of whatever body is placed upon it.<\/p>\n
