The merger isn't only about converting more classic cars with electric motors but also about helping car owners and mechanics make the switch too, co-founder of Jaunt Motors Dave Budge said.

He said: "Classic car owners will want their vehicle to be electric much sooner." Electric vehicles represented just 3.39 percent of new car sales in Austral){kind=link}
