As a geek I find this really cool, but as a realist I doubt the impact it can have. To replace ICE cars, the replacement has to be significantly better in some if not most dimensions. Outside of hobbyist tinkerers / enthusiasts, it’s going to be very difficult for a retrofit to compete with any electric-first design. Just weight distribution alone will be tough, and range is very low, to name a couple of issues. Yes there is the perceived cost savings here, but I would argue that is a mirage, because over time the consumer will realize that they have made a mistake, and they will have to consider the price they paid as just an expense of learning a lesson. But hey it will surely provide some cool fun and conversation value in the meantime.
