Fighting Anno Domini
BYD’s recent extension of its Blade Battery warranty to 250,000 km sent a strong message about durability. Yet, it quietly reaffirmed a more stubborn limitation: the unchanged eight-year age ceiling for that warranty. (Yes, Toyota will conditionally cover hybrid batteries for up to 15 years, but eight remains typical for BEVs.) This reveals an unconquered […]

Classic car EV conversions
There is more than one way to approach EV conversion of a classic car, as Peter Donaldson discovers. Marrying classic automotive design with modern electric powertrain technology, the EV conversion sector has evolved from a niche curiosity to a growing engineering discipline. We quizzed five companies on the subject: eDub Conversions, Electric Classic Cars, Everrati, Fuel2Electric and Retroelectric, each with its own distinct approach and methodology, but also with much in common.
