There is something magical about classic cars with modern technology under the skin, especially when the conversion is done right.
A Tesla Model 3 Long Range that had been taken off the road by an accident kindly donated its motor, rear subframe included, to the Ford van. Remember, the Model 3 LR comes with a single electric motor making 279 hp and 376 lb-ft of torque, with a fixed-ratio transmission.
The E100 also borrowed the Model 3 Long Range’s battery pack (75 kWh), the brakes, and even the wheels.
The build is handled by Idaho-based Conductive Classics, which hasn’t said anything about the acceleration, but keep in mind that the 4,000 lbs factory E100 is only 200 lbs heavier than the Model 3. And since the latter only needs 4.4s to hit 60 mph, this is one quick van.
