I was wondering...with all of the manufacturers switching to electric, would electric vehicle model kits be far behind? Who would buy them? A 1:1 electric vehicle would offer exceptional acceleration, but is it worth building as a model kit?

already started in the aftermarket world.

maybe they will become shelf or curbside. as long as the classics are around, i don't give the electric or modern cars a fighting chance.

I believe we build what we dream about owning. And most of us I think remember the old cars. The young generation of model builders if there will be such a group will most likely be the type of people to buy those electric car model kits. Or us old guys will buy that 2024 Charger kit and promptly put a Hemi in it. 😂.
