<p>This week on <em>Everybody in the Pool</em>, we’re starting in full aspirational mode (with one of my least climate-friendly obsessions) — with <strong>iconic classic cars rebuilt as state-of-the-art EVs</strong>. Think: vintage Porsches, Land Rovers, Pagodas, even a GT40… all stripped to bare metal, fully restored, and reborn as clean-air electric machines. Yeah, I’m dying over here.</p><br><p>My guest is <strong>Justin Lunny</strong>, founder and CEO of <strong>Everrati</strong>, a company that electrifies beloved classic cars while also building a cutting-edge EV powertrain platform used by new low-volume automakers around the world.</p><br><p>It’s a story about craft and circularity — giving existing cars a new, zero-emission life — <em>and</em> about how aspiration drives climate adoption. Wealthy early adopters (and their garages) help prove what’s possible, push down cost curves, and build social permission for the EV future.</p><p><br></p><h3>We get into:</h3><ul><li>How Everrati “redefines” classic cars using full CAD modeling, advanced engineering, and hand-built restoration</li><li>Why their EV powertrains use motors and components normally found in hypercars and Formula E</li><li>The economics: donor cars, bespoke builds, and why the least-loved 964s are perfect candidates</li><li>Why keeping old cars alive — electrically — is a circularity win</li><li>The B2B side: powering new sports cars and specialty vehicles for low-volume OEMs</li><li>Why electrifying halo cars helps drive broader consumer aspiration</li><li>Battery modularity, future upgrades, and designing for long-term sustainability</li><li>Justin’s personal journey from tech entrepreneur to climate-driven car nut</li></ul><p><br></p><h3>Links:</h3><ul><li>Everrati: <a href="https://everrati.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://everrati.com/</a></li><li>All episodes: <a href="https://www.everybodyinthepool.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.everybodyinthepool.com/</a></li><li>Subscribe to the Everybody in the Pool newsletter: <a href="https://www.mollywood.co/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.mollywood.co/</a></li><li>Become a member for the ad-free version of the show:</li><li><a href="https://everybodyinthepool.supercast.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://everybodyinthepool.supercast.com/</a></li></ul><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
