Well, I am also a bit senior! Elon Musk wants to see an electric car
industry develop. Current new EV's are the only way in which most people can
get them, but they are too expensive for most people. The conversions could
cost less, there are companies doing conversions but not main stream. Tesla
(Elon) wants to see basically only electrics on the road, he could help many
here to get into the main stream market and further his aims by achieving a
critical mass.
If there was an organisation that approved conversions, that would
advertise on TV? Imagine, tell everyone they can buy a converted car that
would be like new for a cheaper price, guaranteed by a trust fund (part of
the sale price goes into the trust account), get the government to extend
the rebates to these as well? Tesla could supply
batteries/motors/controllers as a kit, mass produced they would be cheaper
too. Put a tax on sale of 2nd hand ICE cars to fund the rebates on electric,
the price of cars would fall too.
This could be added to as well, all I have at the moment.

Could you elaborate a little on this. I am a little confused (senior
moment..my natural state) as to what you are saying. Thanks.
