Why classic cars will make an electric comeback

AutoExec Summary

Mini is pioneering the conversion of classic cars into electric vehicles through its Mini Recharge project, which replaces traditional engines with electric motors. This initiative aligns with the growing trend of cities banning older, polluting vehicles. Other manufacturers, including Jaguar and Land Rover, are also exploring similar conversions. The project maintains the classic aesthetic of the Minis and allows for reversible modifications. Mini’s last petrol car is set for release in 2025, transitioning fully to electric by the early 2030s.
