If you're an absolute purist when it comes to classic vehicles, consider this your trigger warning to avert your eyes now. Kindred Motorworks is introducing its latest all-electric conversion of a vintage vehicle, a 1947-1953 Chevrolet 3100 from the Advanced Design generation.
Inside, the only clues to its electric power are the lack of a traditional shifter and the use of a"PRND" dial, but you might also expect it to have a modern transmission that lacks a truly physical connection between it and the actual shifting mechanism.
Yep, the only true way to know without lifting the hood is watch one pull away from a stop and realize it isn't making any noise.Those sounds of silence emanate from a 294-hp motor, which is powered by a 74-kWh battery capable of delivering up to 200 miles of range. Kindred splits the battery into two modules, with one under the hood and the other living underneath the cab and between the frame rails of the custom chassis.
Regardless, those axles and front spindles will be attached to a set of 17-inch aluminum wheels designed to replicate the original Advanced Design wheels and will fit a set of chrome hubcaps with"Chevrolet" embossed into them. The tires will also be a set of Continental TrueContact Tour tires, but sadly won't have any whitewall treatment.Unfortunately, the modern amenities, bespoke chassis, and the EV conversion of an Advanced Design truck doesn't come cheap.

Why?
Oh hell no
This should be a sinful act
