🔋 TWO ELECTRIC SAMURAIS ON SHOW THIS WEEKEND 🔋

Our latest Suzuki Samurai EV conversion (owned by ) is complete and we’ll be showing it in SoCal this weekend!

Come see two of these classic 4x4s reimagined with zero emissions:

SATURDAY (3/29): South OC Cars & Coffee
⏰ 9-11am
📍 Outlets At San Clemente

SUNDAY (3/30): Cars & Coffee Los Angeles
⏰ 7-10am
📍 Griffith Park Merry-Go-Round Lot #1

Meet the Nice team, ask questions about EV conversions, and see how we’re giving beloved vehicles second lives.

The numbers tell a compelling story: converting an existing vehicle to electric produces up to 93% less carbon than manufacturing a new EV.

This means that it only takes 2.5 months of driving to offset production emissions, compared to 1.5 years for a new EV.

But it’s more than just carbon - it’s about preserving the resources and energy already invested in these vehicles. Sometimes the most sustainable choice is giving new life to what already exists.

How did we calculate this? We analyzed component-by-component emissions data, finding that by reusing existing vehicle bodies and using salvaged batteries (which typically account for 40-60% of an EV’s production emissions), we dramatically reduce the carbon footprint of electrification.

In 1975, smaller sedans and wagons made up about 80% of vehicle sales but now represent just a quarter of the market. Modern vehicles—especially SUVs and trucks—are growing larger and less efficient, even as we transition to EVs.

This trend reduces potential efficiency gains and increases environmental impacts. It’s not just about parking spaces—it’s about our collective carbon footprint.

Choosing smaller, efficient vehicles is practical and essential for reducing emissions. At Nice, we’re proud to help keep smaller classic vehicles on the road as EVs.

From cheeky vintage ads to trail-blazing adventures, the Suzuki Samurai has always known how to make people smile.

Some designs are timeless - not just in their aesthetics, but in their potential for renewal. That’s why we chose it as our first conversion platform.

Light and nimble, with an abundant supply of vehicles and parts thanks to its dedicated following, the Samurai represents the ideal blend of practicality and personality. Its cheerful spirit, lightweight body, and enduring design make it the perfect candidate for electrification.

When products are built to last, they can be reimagined for each generation’s needs. That’s true sustainability...what could be more fun than that?

Recent studies show that wildfire smoke in the US has wiped out 25% of the progress made over decades of reducing air pollution.

Your transportation choices matter now more than ever.

This isn’t just about statistics. It’s about our health, our communities, and our future. Every breath of clean air matters.

Each vehicle that is converted from gas to electric makes a difference!

It’s time for us to rethink how we make and use things. This isn’t a new idea - in previous generations, everyday people knew the value of reuse and repair. Today, this wisdom about resourcefulness has new urgency.

While we often talk about recycling materials, true efficiency means keeping whole products in use longer, before breaking them down into their parts. At Nice, we’re doing this at scale.

Every vehicle that stays on the road through electric conversion means less waste, less mining, and less carbon emitted from making something new. It also means greater value for the things we already own – a win-win for us and for our climate!

The future is ours to build. Each choice we make today shapes the world we’ll inhabit tomorrow.

Progress isn’t always a straight line, but the direction we choose - and where we focus our attention - really matters.

Frequent extreme weather is our wake up call to the rapidly changing climate. Where are we going to go from here?
