It’s not just the engine, it’s literally every single driving characteristic too.

    British car owners with Lucas electrics would welcome the increase in reliability haha

    I owned a Morris Major. Even with its 'big' 1620cc engine, you can be very sure that if I had the opportunity to make it electric at the time with what's available now, I would have.

    Probably would have ended up in a straight line into the nearest tree though, those things basically didn't have any handling or brakes.
