Historic vehicle association against electric drivetrain conversions

The global body representing historic car clubs has come out against the growing trend of fitting electric drivetrains to classic cars. FIVA (Fédération Internationale des Véhicules Anciens or International Federation for Historic Vehicles) stated it "cannot promote, to owners or regulators, the use of modern EV components ... to replace a historic vehicle’s powertrain" as it is an "organisation dedicated to the preservation, protection and promotion of historic vehicles".
