Electric Exige??

Not really sure what this guy can actually accomplish. Seems to me he should just buy a Tesla with a hard top.

If he has LOTS of money, why not build a BEV from a carbon fibre exotic?

It also sounds a bit more like the Fetish.

Where's the price?

I don't get it. What's the big deal here? A rich guy is paying for a high-performance EV conversion in a fancy sports car...it's been done lots of times. He's in this video describing "the challenge" like he's off intrepidly breaking new ground...maybe he should check the EV album at austinev.org?

To me it just comes off like "look at how great and responsible I am! Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to drive this Mercedes to the airstrip; my pilot is waiting."

Could be I'm just bitter about the budgetary gulf separating his conversion from my '84 Chevy ...I should send ABG a video of my friends and me drinking beer on the tailgate at a football game saying "How do we live more sustainably--we know we have to--and how do we have fun at the same time?" See if they find that newsworthy...

Brilliant idea. It does warrant a send-up on YouTube
