CLASSIC CAR ELECTRIC CONVERSION: ASTON MARTIN DB6 VOLANTE MK2 | FULLY CHARGED

EV Channels Review

This Fully Charged episode offers an exclusive preview of Aston Martin's in-house electric conversion for their classic DB6 Volante Mk2. The reviewer highlights the car's stunning aesthetics and the significance of preserving such a rare, valuable vehicle (estimated at £1.5 million). The conversion is praised for being fully reversible, with no chassis modifications, ensuring the car's provenance is maintained. While the lack of official specs (battery, range, speed) is noted due to the project's early stage, the goal is to mimic the original petrol engine's performance, weight, and range. The reviewer finds the silent driving experience 'surreal and pleasantly relaxing,' appreciating the ability to enjoy the car guilt-free in urban environments. The conversion is seen as a way to future-proof classic Aston Martins, making them usable for a new generation, with Aston Martin planning to offer this service for DB4, DB5, DB6, and DBS models. The conversion is expected to be available in approximately 12 months, fully warranted by Aston Martin.
