Like the title says, are there any EVs that just have a Bluetooth radio and that’s it? Like a normal car, not a smartphone on wheels? If not, do you all think that this will actually happen at some point? This is the main reason why I can’t (and will never) buy an EV. I like to have actual buttons everywhere on my car. I think those massive tablets on these cars with all the touch buttons are very dangerous. I like an “entertainment system” that only connects to my phone with either a headphone jack of or Bluetooth. It’s a car, not a PC.

    Any good choices? Been thinking of getting an old civic and seeing if anyone local can do it.

      If you’re going to go to all the trouble of an EV conversion, I’d suggest getting something stylish or with a nice interior (or whatever you prioritize) but a shitty/unreliable stock drivetrain, since you’re ripping it out anyway. In a sense, making a reliable Honda into an EV is a waste of a reliable Honda.

        Also don’t touch our beloved nsx or integra. Unless it’s cooked then go right ahead!👍

          Do you really think somebody would pay $300k+ for an NSX and convert it to EV?

            I thought the same thing when someone converted a classic 911 into an ev. I mean they probably sold the drivetrain to other people but still.

      Nah I’m not knowledgeable on it. I just read that some people were having it done at a cost of $6k-$8k for popular car models that were easy to work on.
