The economics probably don’t work at the moment but could be a way to save some Falcon/Territory

I think anything that's not desirable or a classic will just go to landfill as people replace them with electric.

Already being done... For quite sometime now in the mining segment. Not hard to adapt for consumer application.

200km range in those cruisers and probably costs an absolute fortune to do ( bloke in comments claiming $180 000 ) so not going to be very popular for your every day aussie. Better off waiting for the cybertruck

Don't think it's cost that much but as with everything, it has to start somewhere and it has. In time, they'll get cheaper. It's cool that they're doing this.

Once manufacturer backed EV 4x4 make it to market, it might be cheaper to recycle the old cars rather than retrofit them.
