Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Watch classic Volkswagens become beautiful electric cars”.
Ah, the collector and vintage market is exploding these days, but the cars are often underpowered. They break down and they’re dirty if you love VW’s old, VW, bugs and things, and this particular vehicle, which is the microbus very cool. But you don’t want to be broken down by the side of the road. The subtle electric has an answer for you: how about making them all-electric, because you’re actually using or of a certain vintage? What are they they’re all Volkswagens and their own collectibles? There’S a sweet spot in both white and beetles between 1958 and 66.
We source well maintained little cared for cars. Then they take the gas bits out and put in the electric stuff. So we have double horsepower right.
All electric you just plug in 8:00 at night. In the morning, it’s ready what’s the range potentially on it just depends how much you can afford with the bus, because we have room for a lot of batteries in here, but the way we have it set up right now, it’s a solid 60 mile range in This bus and the beetle it’s about 80 to 100 miles. This is truly a great design. You’Ve got your surfboard back here. It’S got a sunroof. This whole thing opens up to basically every window, pops outer and cooling the front windows.
So, in a sense, it is the quintessential California machine. You start this company, because your green fiend right you’re mad about all things, green, really it was to make a car more dependable. I’Ve grew up with these cars.
I’Ve had them for the last 30 years and every couple of months, something you know something breaks, something physically falls off going electorate. It makes them super dependable and that’s a lot of fun. You can shift if you want to.
If you want to have more fun or you can just leave it in third gear and cruise around, like a automatic, so if you, you probably didn’t realize, we’ve been in second gear the whole time from when I took off reckon I can stop now in second Gear and vans are and start off, so it’s pretty much just like a non ematic. This car can be coming at you. You know 50 miles an hour and residential neighborhood. It literally does not come up on your audible radar.
I have never driven an all-electric beetle. Come on baby god yeah! This is fast. Here’S the thing that so many people don’t realize about electric motors, as you get 100 % of torque on demand. So there really – I mean it – may not be fast to 100, but to 30 or 35 miles an hour from off the line. We’Re really quick, you’ve actually made 1960s VW bugs fast and interesting. Yes, I know nobody believes me, but they go 100 miles an hour.
No problem hi very close, this one’s a 59, it’s all electric, no seriously, we have it’s all electric, I’m gon na beat you offline, let’s race by, and there were up to almost 50 miles an hour. We totally blasted the Lexus. How many cars do you guys expect to sell a year? We can handle about 10 right now? How much? How much for the different now we are in this is a microbus would be the around 130 130 130 thousand dollars we’re in all Volkswagen bus. At some time, probably sold for 25 bucks to somebody, but I mean it’s gorgeous it’s collectible interesting now the VW Beetle start at what the sedan starts at 68 and if you put a big hole in the roof, it’s 78 for their rag cot and if you Take the roof off it’s about 88.
We can. We played thank your David because it turns out the cars are a blast. They are sort of the shape of the future in the form of the past, super charming, really fun and totally clean.
