Zelectric is bringing vintage VW Bugs into the 21st century, turning the gas-fueled classics into modern day electric vehicles.

NICE!!
Wouldnt mind shipping my 1961 San Diego beetle back home to turn her into an electric daily driver.

[@RS-of1om]

nice i have my my restored 1960 ragtop beetle ready to be converted but $15k conversion cost is pricey.

[@uncontrollabledogs3791]

I want one!

[@tehashi]

Hey, as long as they don't take away the front trunk then i think this is pretty sweet.

[@carlospereyra7308]

hi, how Mach is the conversion? I am from Peru and I'm very interested

[@thomase13]

$75,000

[@baturpasha2709]

Electric power is not there yet because of batteries. In less than 10 years we can see whole different batteries and only than E-conversions shall be feasible.

[@dwarfer2309]

It’s all great but you only get around 100 miles of range that’s not enough

[@thomase13]

They'll give you 200 miles now if you pay for it!

[@imagrandpa]

What would a conversion cost today?
And range?

[@robox_autoshine]

imagrandpa 70k

[@amramjose]

EXPENSIVE! Plan on spending around 60$K and up`

[@okwhatever2995]

I want one but just to convert it’s like 25-27,000+, again we favor the rich n rude!

Actual “news” from CNN ;)

[@joebarker3761]

If it's an original beetle, don't call it classic after you have removed the classic engine.

[@tiziano316]

this is the most stupid thing you could do
