Driving an electric Jaguar E-Type by Electrogenic

Electrogenic is a British company that turns classic cars into electric vehicles. It can convert just about anything, but has recently begun offering an EV conversion kit for the Jaguar E-Type. The kit can be purchased from a range of authorised restoration companies - so when you're looking at new LED headlights and retrofitted Bluetooth for your E-Type, you can also now opt to replace the engine with an electric motor.
The process is fully reversible, performance is slightly improved while the weight remains the same as before, and Electrogenic says the range is around 150 to 200 miles, depending on motor power and battery size chosen by the customer.
In this video I spent a short time driving the electric E-Type around a runway, and thought I'd share my initial impressions on camera.

Great review, man!

They will make a sound recording to emulate the sound going through the gears .

Attention, according to new judgments and changes in EU and Gernan construction law, it may happen that deregistered cars, classic cars and even vehicles with seasonal license plates are no longer allowed to be stored in garages. The municipalities need money and send inspectors around to check whether work is being done in garages or whether deregistered classic cars are parked. ...that can cost up to 10,000 euros! It is even planned that in the future (unregistered) vehicles and trailers parked in the garden (outside garages) will be defined as structures for which building authorities will then require building applications and permits (and of course not grant them!); there will be a network of vehicle registration offices and building regulations offices take place so that building permits are requested by car owners as soon as they are deregistered.

it's all about the cost!! last time I looked it was about £100,000 to convert to electric

Why is the camera pointed at you?

I'm sorry, half the fun of a classic is the sound and an electric motor doesn't do it.
