unfortunately no one's going to be converting existing cars to anything other than scrap metal no matter which technology proves to be the most promising



Classic cars are much easier to convert to electric than hydrogen. I’m not even sure anyone would make a kit to do it. There’s just so much complexity with fuel cells.


Well I agree with your other comment, but about this one, retrofitting (ICE->EV) is a thing. Even if very niche for now.


Used Prius is always free and used Tesla is cheaper than a conversion. It never will make sense except for few classic cars.


With the way cars are built today it can be an endeavor to change a lightbulb, let alone the entire propulsion system.


It is niche but growing less so by the day as conversion kits mature and more options make it onto market.
