The Honda Fit EV and 2nd generation Toyota Rav4 EV are both around $19,000. I think EVs will be the surprise collector cars of future decades (especially when you look at the first gen Rav4 EV cult...ure). With that said, the Fit EV really does showcase some of Honda’s great engineering. But the real gem is the Rav4 EV since it actually uses Tesla’s EV tech similar to the base Model S. I mean the Rav4 EV can easily get over 100 miles and only takes like 6 hours to charge.
I’m telling you Oppo, toss both of these on a flatbed, take them out every so often, keep them clean, and you will sell them for original MSRP (minimum) in less than 15 years.
Gotta catch ‘em all!
Just for fun, I’m gonna let ya’ll browse !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , just to see the type of conversions people are doing.

One of the people in my town had one of those electric BMW 1 Series. They only made 1,100 of them and were lease-only. BMW pulled an EV-1 and took them all back after the leases were up.

I want to convert a Beetle for my 10 mile commute. Something basic with lead acid batteries. I could charge it at work all day if want to, so it would be a perfect car for me. I never get on the freeway and got 35-40 the whole way. I would be happy with an electric motorcycle or bicycle. Those Rad Rovers look pretty nice.

I don’t think so. They might be in museums, but more as a “look at how far we’ve come” rather than “look at this amazing Rav4!”. They’ll be obsolete beyond any use in 15 years. Batteries degrade and electronics in general tend to age poorly.

That might be slick, though you can get the batteries from a Prius for pretty cheap at a scrap yard. About $200 or so for the pack when we found one for our first-gen.
