Both humans can still do the same things for the most part with no real difference. Taking that analogy into consideration, an ICE car and an EV converted ICE car are the same vehicle and they do the same things for the most part. Regardless of their overall performance, the context of both are the same.

I do love the spaceship noises it makes. Apart from range the only thing I'd miss from an ICE is the noise, but this car nails that.

Swapping an e30 with an e Motor should be forbidden. But this ladies and gentleman is a masterpiece!!!! Awesome work !
