Vintage-car powerhouse denounces EV-swapped classics
One of the largest global organizations representing classic car owners and enthusiasts has firmly denounced the increasingly popular practice of converting a vintage, piston-engined vehicle to run on electricity. It defiantly argued electrified classics no longer qualify as historic vehicles. The 53-year old Fédération Internationale des Véhicules Anciens (FIVA), which represents about two million enthusiasts in 65 countries, explained that electric conversions run afoul of its goal to preserve historic vehicles.
