Powertrain Electric drivetrains can heat up-especially when charging rapidly or accelerating a lot. Lack of sufficient thermal management
systems (cooling loops, fans or heat sinks) may cause batteries and controllers to overheat, resulting in performance degradation or destruction.
There is also crash safety. The older vehicle bodies cannot accommodate the standards of contemporary crashing and the
battery packs have to be guarded against the impact. This invariably calls upon strengthening the chassis parts and incorporation of latest safety measures such as cut-off switches and battery cages.
Emissions Compliance & Legal
In spite of EVs being, in general, cleaner, many jurisdiction require EVs to be certified as emission-free,
meet noise requirements, and electromagnetic interference standards. Construction workers are advised to be notified about the existing law in the region and is to
seek advice in case of need.
Through these difficulties and devotion to planning, builders of EV replicas should be able to
provide beautiful, safe, and street-legal cars, ready to roll on the modern highways.

Some of the best ones that could be considered as a balance of old times and new electric driving are these.
