VW Bus owner delights in silent, fume-free electric conversion
Original: Elke keer als ik de motorkap van mijn oude VW Bus opentrek voel ik een glansje verrukking. En ruik ik helemaal niks! # o
A driver of an old Volkswagen Bus says lifting the hood of the converted electric van still gives a small thrill, and that there is no smell at all, now that the vehicle has been rebuilt as an EV that also charges from solar power. The post links to a Dutch article on sustainable driving, and the anecdote highlights how owners of classic vans are increasingly converting them to electric rather than giving them up.
Why now: Electric conversions of classic vans are a popular sustainability topic, and the personal, positive detail of no engine smell resonates with drivers considering the switch.
