Electric cars also have a (limited) chance of becoming sought-after classic cars (question of the week)
Over the next 20 years, electric cars will displace those with combustion engines in the new car business, this can be predicted with a fair degree of certainty. The oldest modern electric cars, e.g. the Tesla Roadster, were produced in manageable numbers 14 years ago. This naturally makes you wonder whether these cars will mature into classics and appear at classic car meetings.
Instead of trying to guess for ourselves, we simply asked our readers and had them answer "Will modern electric cars become classics?" via " Question of the week" .
We were actually somewhat surprised by the almost 280 responses, as only a third of them (34.3 percent) do not believe that modern electric cars will ever become vintage cars and classics.
Half, however, at least give the rarer examples a good chance of becoming classics if these cars can be kept roadworthy in the future.
And 14.6 percent see no reason at all why modern electric cars should not also become classics and classic cars that can be driven to a meeting in 20 or 30 years' time.
For the sake of completeness, it should also be mentioned that 1.5 percent could not do anything with any of the answers given.
To sum up: electric cars also have a good chance of becoming classics. Here is a graphic summary of the results:
Of course, we have already posed the next "question of the week" . We want to know whether a classic car should have a historic look or whether the technology underneath should be the same as the original.
And of course you can still read about all previous "Questions of the Week" and their results in the corresponding topic channel.
