Those older cars are actually not bad for electrification as they had weak engines back in the day and thus are relatively lightweight. I just hope they also add good modern breaks as those need to be sized according to the extra battery weight. Although regenerative breaking of course also helps.

They do not need better breaks as those are trucks, which are designed to carry heavy cargo.

Afaik the VW Vans from that generation were never certified for much load and had pretty bad breaks.
