This 1970 Scout Sat In A Field For Years. Now It’s An EV With Its Original 4-Speed Manual

• Canada’s Beachman, known for e-bikes, is now converting classic cars into EVs.
• Its latest creation is a 1970 International Harvester Scout 800A, which sat unused in a field for years.
• The startup says it can convert a classic motorcycle into an EV for as little as $7,000. Cars start at $25,000.

Converting classic cars into EVs isn’t anything new, but now there’s a new player that promises to keep costs relatively low for an industry that has been inundated with six-figure projects.
