If they had charged him I'm sure he would have been shocked.

Same reason people put LS engines in older cars.
Ls engines & electric transplants are nothing alike. For 1 the ls is still a pushrod v8, it only has fuel injection & some sensors in varience really.
Like dating an older super model, but she gets a few cosmetic touch ups.
Electric is like dating a super model & leaving her for a guy.
Both shouldn't be considered as an option !

Ls is fine with me, providing it's not in a classic like a monaro a9x ect.

Yes they are alike. Putting an LS with ECU controlled auto and serpentine front drive with air and steer (and of course modern front suspension and brakes) into a dinosaur like a 50’s Chevy/Pontiac/GMC truck is very much modernising it. Doing the same thing with a quad cam 5.6/5.7L Toyota/Nissan/Ram engine is too.
In 5-10 years time when onboard energy storage (possibly batteries but also maybe fuel cells) are of the next generation of technology and affordable is really no different. The electric machine technology is already here, just the storage is lagging at the moment. Eventually we won’t have a lot of choice, it’ll be drive modern crap or modernise older stuff.
Personally, I’d rather an injected SBC/BBC or Hemi etc with the same modernised stuff I mentioned above, but some people prefer LS. At least they aren’t fitting 4cyl or Japanese straight 6’s to old school iron, that would be seriously batting for the other team!

I don't care what badge is on any v8.
I just can't bring myself to the electric stuff at all. Lets hope that's a long time away yet please.
I've seen plenty of jap shit in old muscle, sadly.

Electric conversions in older cars will be a boom industry in 20 years. Hell, they’ll all be upgrading to electric once you can’t buy a diesel anymore, diesel will probably be the first to go unless they can Engineer a way to make them low emissions without making them a reliability nightmare.

What all the long haul transport going to run on if not diesel Byron?

Not sure, but it’ll be gone from dual cabs in the not too distant future as people won’t put up with the BS. Diesels used to be the most reliable but gutless engine around but not anymore, pollution stuff plus trying to make them perform like a petrol engine hasn’t helped. Once the next round of Euro emissions are forced on us I reckon we’ll either be back to ULP or hybrids for this class of vehicle. Who in their right mind wants a 2 litre diesel in a vehicle used to tow 2500kg+? Should be kept for city runarounds.

We spend more time cleaning EGR's and DPF's than servicing nowadays - modern diesels suck...
