Just a pebble in the pond:
Your A2 may currently meet EURO 4 emissions standards, but the slow tightening of the economic screw for any petrol or diesel vehicle over the next 25 years is going to make a move to an electric vehicle almost compulsory as time goes by.
if you are an A2OC member you are very likely to be planning to keep your A2 running for quite some time to come. So my question is, would you be interested in converting your A2 to electric power, or taking a scrappage offer and going for a new or near new EV?
Taking some BMW i3 figures as an example, you would currently pay around £30K for a new one, or around £18-20K for a 3 year old model. Let’s say your A2 is worth £2000. How much would you be prepared to pay to have it upgraded to, say, a manual gearshift EV with a 250 mile range and vastly better performance? £10,000, £15,000 or even more? You would have to find around £16K (net) for that three year i3 right now.
I would be very interested in feedback opinion, whether you would be interested in doing such a conversion and what you might be prepared to pay for it.
I am not offering a conversion service, just trying to see if it is a viable project.
