Retrofitting Classic Cars

 

by Kristin Kruse for the Carl Kruse Blog

In today’s society, climate change is on everyone's mind, making oil the enemy. Oil has seen a gradual slowdown in its extraction and refinement.  As laws change to counteract climate change, alternative fuel methods are taking the front seat, especially electricity.  Electric cars are becoming more mainstream, with countries like the United Kingdom ending sales of traditional fuel cars by 2030. Anything that runs on batteries and powered by an electric motor is more efficient, less noisy, emits no exhaust, and requires less maintenance.  This is a seemingly no-brainer alternative. Cities become cleaner, people save money on fuel.

 

However, not everyone is convinced of this full transition to alternative energy, especially classic car enthusiasts. The question then becomes how do you satisfy people who grew up with classic cars like Cadillacs, Mustangs, Beetles, or Fiat 500s? The answer is retrofitting. 

 

Retrofitting consists in replacing original internal combustion engine systems with those powered 100% by electricity. This is now possible by technological advancements, that have led to the improvement of ever-increasing tools for conversions from ICE to electric power trains. There has been no better time to convert classic cars with internal combustion systems into electric-powered cars.





 

Retrofitting allows for classic car enthusiasts to hold on to the nostalgia of the past while giving their cars  a modern, climate friendly upgrade. Furthermore, retrofitting brings economic advantages for those who decide to turn it into a job. Since there are only a few retrofitting garages available, if a mechanic mechanical decides to try his hand at this new work, there is an opportunity to turn it into a full time career.

 

Moving forward does not mean that we have to let go of the past completely.  In fact, looking at the past and springing forward from there is the best way to move into the future.

Planning Your Life Makes You Happier

By Vittorio Compagno for this Carl Kruse Blog Here’s My Experience A few weeks ago I was lost at the foot of my bed, sitting on the floor, reading a book, immersing myself in the words and the worlds that I imagined, wanting to drive away the thought of an exam that I would have had shortly thereafter. The more I leafed through the pages, the closer my mind seemed to approach the task to which I could not escape, and if I did, I would have lost time studying for and taking another, and the cyclical anxiety that this would entail. And that’s how the life I was living more and more day by day seemed built on a house of cards, ready to fall on me at the first gust of wind, which, sooner or later, would come. And it came. I finally failed that exam, I could take another one after two weeks, but I knew that the same situation would always be repeated, that my feelings about the hot and guilty stasis would not change on their own. So, taking advantage of the fall of the house of cards, I wan

  by Vittorio Compagno for the Carl Kruse Blog Since the release of digital cameras and, most of all, the internet, videos of UFOs and celestial sightings have appeared through the internet, raising curiosity and questions all around the globe.    The scientific community, still not impressed by the sightings, has been pressed by the public to investigate those which, in a broader term, we define as UAPs .   UAPs, or Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, catch a wider interest also among those that have been criticizing the numerous sightings of “green men in the sky."   The seriousness and scientific interest around UAPs has increased, following the recent decision by the U.S. Department of Defense to release a report about the sightings. The report focuses on the behavior of the flying objects, which are able to move with incredible speed and precision, allegedly using technologies not currently used or tested by the Department of Defense in any field.
