Ford has unveiled an all-electric concept model of their 1978 F-100 pickup truck. While it’s a one-off showpiece, the electric engine inside is publicly available, allowing people to convert their old gas guzzlers into modern and sustainable vehicles. Is the F-100 a window into the future of EVs?

Ridepanda is the first platform of its kind – a one-stop e-ride shop that helps people find the right electric vehicle for their needs. Based in the US, the brand’s early success reflects a burgeoning interest in sustainable, safe, and long-term forms of alternative transport.
