E114: Everrati: electrifying your dream cars

This week on Everybody in the Pool, we’re starting in full aspirational mode (with one of my least climate-friendly obsessions) — with iconic classic cars rebuilt as state-of-the-art EVs. 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.

My guest is Justin Lunny, founder and CEO of Everrati, 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.

It’s a story about craft and circularity — giving existing cars a new, zero-emission life — and 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.

We get into:

• How Everrati “redefines” classic cars using full CAD modeling, advanced engineering, and hand-built restoration
• Why their EV powertrains use motors and components normally found in hypercars and Formula E
• The economics: donor cars, bespoke builds, and why the least-loved 964s are perfect candidates
• Why keeping old cars alive — electrically — is a circularity win
• The B2B side: powering new sports cars and specialty vehicles for low-volume OEMs
• Why electrifying halo cars helps drive broader consumer aspiration
• Battery modularity, future upgrades, and designing for long-term sustainability
• Justin’s personal journey from tech entrepreneur to climate-driven car nut
