How Everrati Rebuilds Classic Cars As High-End Electric Vehicles
Everatti re-engineers and rebuilds models such as Porsche 911 into an electric vehicle. U.K.-based Everrati is turning classic internal combustion cars into electric vehicles. Founder and CEO Justin Lunny has a background in tech, including software. But he also has an interest in autos. 'I've been passionate about anything with four wheels,' Lunny said in an interview. He said he got the idea for Everrati in 2018, when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle drove an especially built electric Jaguar following their royal wedding. 'We are a business that takes iconic vehicles and remanufactures them,' Lunny said. 'We're selling the dream.' Depending on model, an Everrati can cost anywhere from about $250,000 to more than $500,000. Everrati offers electric versions of the Land Rover Series IAA, Porsche 911 (964),Mercedes-Benz W11 SL 'Pagoda,' and the GT40, a supercar Ford Motor Co. originally developed to beat Ferrari at the 24 Hours of LeMans in the 1960s. The company begins with a 'donor car,' an original version. Most Everrati customers don't own an original. So, Everrati will acquire one for an additional fee. The donor car 'is stripped back to the chassis,' Lunny said. The donor car also is treated to ensure there's no rust. The donor car 'is rebuilt back up.' Lunny said Everrati engages in thousands of hours of engineering. 'We're really re-engineering that vehicle.' Brakes and suspension systems are upgraded. New audio systems are installed. The cars are equipped with Everrati's proprietary software. Each Everrati takes about a year to build. 'To the outside eye, it looks like a beautifully restored vehicle,' the CEO said. Everrati was founded in 2019, with the first deliveries a few years later. The company doesn't disclose precise sales statistics but Lunny said it has sold between 20 and 30 EVs to date. 'We almost tripled our sales this year from last.' The company has multiple manufacturing centers, including one in the U.S., which handles output of the Porsche cars. 'Things like tariffs are less problematic,' The CEO said. The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump has levied tariffs on an array of products, including vehicles and automotive parts. Tariffs are paid by importers. Everrati's board advisors include Andy Palmer, a former CEO of Aston Martin. The company's models have an obviously high price point. Still, Lunny said there is a market. Everrati is working on additional vehicle programs. 'We're busier than we've ever been,' the CEO said. 'It is a lifestyle proposition.'

Tesla announces cheaper Model Y to combat sales and revenue dive
Tesla will launch a cheaper variant of the Model Y in a bid to increase sales after posting one of its worst ever quarterly sales declines. In January, Tesla boss Elon Musk to launch a range of "more affordable models" by this summer in a bid to broaden its appeal. Rather than an entirely new model, this has instead amounted to a stripped-out version of the American EV brand's best-seller. Production is scheduled to begin from around August or September. Musk hasn't said whether other affordable models, such as a new Model 3, are planned. Nor has he provided more information, such as which markets the new Model Y would be sold in, target volumes or a target price. The current cheapest version of the SUV starts at £51,990. Tesla hopes the new base model wil especially help to incentivise sales in the US, where current $7500 government electric car grants are due to be stopped as part of president Donald Trump's rollback of emission mandates. The new model announcement has come after Tesla posted heavy losses in the second quarter of 2025. Musk warned that the trend is set to continue in what is expected to be one of Tesla's most challenging periods. The key pullout from the EV maker's second quarter earnings, released on Wednesday night, was a 16% dip in income to $1.17 billion. Tesla blamed this on a 13% decline in sales, a reduction in its average model selling price and an increase in operating expenses. Most importantly, revenue from electric car credits, bought by other manufacturers to hit mandated emissions targets – which Tesla has hugely profited from previously – has dropped by 51% (or $441 million) since Q2 2024, including $154m since the previous quarter alone. This has been driven by Trump's winding down of electric car regulations in the US, meaning car makers no longer need to hit certain EV production targets and therefore have no need to buy credits. Announced in January, the revocation of former president Joe Biden's legislation – which mandates that by 2030, 50% of all new cars sold in the US must be electric – is due to take effect in the coming months. As such, Musk told reporters on the earnings call that Tesla 'probably could have a few rough quarters; I'm not saying we will, but we could'. His comments resulted in share prices in the firm dropping 7%. This year has been difficult for Tesla. Despite introducing an updated version of the Model Y earlier this year, it has struggled in China – previously one of its most significant makerts – due to tariff tensions and sales drops linked to Musk's ties with Trump. While Tesla seemingly has no other mainstream models in the pipeline, a buoyant Musk said he expected a wave of revenue to come from the brand's upcoming self-driving technology, such as its robotaxi service (currently being trailed in Texas) and vehicles such as the Cybercab. It has also invested heavily in the development of humanoid robots. 'Once you get to autonomy at scale in the second half of next year, certainly by the end of next year, I think I'd be surprised if Tesla's economics are not very compelling,' said Musk. ]]>

Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda, Aldi, and Lidl to introduce huge car park changes
Shoppers at Tesco, Sainsbury's, Aldi and Morrisons can expect big changes to car parks soon. The RAC has requested that its members respond to an ongoing survey aimed at understanding the experiences of those who need to use disabled bays. Disabled Motoring UK (DMUK) is urging individuals to participate in a survey between July 21st and August 15th to highlight the current challenges faced by the community. DMUK's Baywatch campaign aims to highlight the persistent misuse of disabled parking bays and Blue Badges in supermarket car parks, and potentially advocate for stricter enforcement. The campaign invites disabled motorists – and their companions – to fill out a survey after each visit to the supermarket. The information gathered will help create a more accurate picture of the difficulties disabled people encounter when parking at six major supermarket chains: Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda, Morrisons, Aldi, and Lidl. The 2024 survey revealed that nearly half (40%) of disabled drivers have had to leave car parks due to the lack of available suitable spaces. An additional 36% reported non-badge holders occupying accessible bays. DMUK's data also indicated that another 40% of disabled individuals state that they are unable to park at local shops because they are inaccessible. The need for accessible parking bays is surging at an alarming rate. With almost three million Blue Badge holders across the UK – and a 10% increase in England alone during the past year – there are currently around 52 Blue Badge holders competing for each accessible parking space. These statistics highlight a wider accessibility crisis throughout public facilities and car parks, putting millions of disabled individuals at a serious disadvantage. Recommended reading: Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrisons, Asda prices set to increase by 33%, experts warn Santander customers issued urgent credit card warning after increase in charges Lloyds Bank customers urged to act now or miss out on free £185 Dr Shani Dhanda, Award Winning Disability Inclusion and Accessibility Specialist, said: "Accessible parking bays aren't just a nice-to-have - they're a lifeline. "Without them, so many disabled people are shut out of everyday life, whether that's getting to work, buying food, going to appointments, or just being part of their community. "When bays are misused or not properly enforced, it sends a really clear message that our access and independence aren't a priority. "Baywatch matters because it's not just raising awareness - it's holding people to account and pushing for real change."
