    Someone tell me please why I can’t find an EV with manual door locks and manual windows, rear view mirrors with maybe just one rear-view camera/sensor in a cost-affordable repaceable spot and only a radio. All it needs to be an EV is to be battery/electric powered. Dumping in all the gadgetry just increases complexity, driver distraction, power required to run, and cost of simple repairs.

      Agree, I’ve been driving a bolt for 167,000km and the one thing I wish it was is simpler, like my old Mazda. Buttons and dials.

      There are a few firms in LA that will turn any classic ICE car into an EV. Kinda thinking about getting a cheap '86 SAAB and converting it. You can find them with manual sunroofs.
