Nice project vehicle ripe for EV conversion
Extremely popular conversion currently. The platform is ideal for layout,. Performance wise, blows off very fast cars off the line

​​​​​​See what's possible below

Haha. No, just no. It'll always be worth more with original vw boxer engine. Full stop.

Nobody in their right mind would convert one of these to electric.

This comment is borderline trolling. :lol1:

The latest VW camper is electric. These are extremely sort after for EV conversion. It might be worth more original, but its still ICE. Good luck whatever way you go.

Im holding out for the latest work vans to be electric,. Wife fancies a modern camper with EV

Maybe for a T3 with a water boxer that’s gone kaput. Any form of propulsion is better than those things when they start to play up.

Theres loads of them now,quite a profitable business I believe. I sold my impreza to dream car giveaways it was the easiest sale ever for full asking price and they raffled it off and made 5k profit on it. Will deffo sell any future cars this way now.
not going to comment on the camper as I detest vw and the whole camper thing but im glad your happy mate thats all that counts.
a few of us at work are in a lottery syndicate and we have won feck all so we now have tickets on cars instead and we have all agreed to take the cash alternative if we win.

Thanks mate. That's a good idea for the work lottery thing. We've had one for years and won practically nothing. Lol

yeah there is 3 of us in it,we just throw in a tenner each a week and if the total doesnt add up to £30 we just carry it over until the next week. the lottery sucks mate,we changed it up a little and won £700 on the health lottery but thats all really.

Yep

The latest die-sel are well into the £30k bracket


Arrival are manufacturing price equivalent vans to Diesel, so to lure fleet buyers onto electric. UPS have a pre-order of 10,000 delivery E vans from Arrival.

That and the tax breaks for buying electric for companies is extremely attractive and sure to be a winner.

Our estate agent bought an EV car and saved £100k off his company tax bill
