  • Take Crosstrek
  • Remove engine, install electric powerplant
  • ~250 mile range
  • ~200 kW charging
  • Basically just put the guts from an Ioniq 5 in it
  • Keep controls the same as old car, no touch screen bullshit
  • Shut up and take my money

I don't know why automakers keep acting like this is so fucking hard to figure out.

This is what Chevy is doing. Silverado, Blazer equinox, etc

Almost every other manufacturer is afraid of sullying their precious model “heritage” by putting it on an ev. So instead they make new models or sub brands, and fuck it up more often than they don’t.
