DIY Hero Builds Fully Functioning Kitchen In The Back Of A Tiny Electric Car

This Kei car-derived Peugeot iOn has its own mini kitchen, featuring a working hob, tap and fridge

Updated: 18 Mar 2018

The Peugeot iOn is not a particularly good car. It’s a badge-engineered version of the electric Mitsubishi i-MiEV, and while not entirely without merit, the car was hampered by a short range and an absurdly high price tag.

But this is no ordinary iOn: it’s owned by an enterprising New Zealander who once converted an old Mitsubishi Tredia into a full EV, and chronicled the whole build on YouTube. Now he has a purpose-built electric vehicle, he’s not done tinkering.

Case in point? Here’s a very informative video about how he built a fully functioning mini kitchen into the back of the iOn. It even has a working tap, and a fridge!

Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

I wonder where he got the inspiration

“I had beans this morning?”

“What sort of beans?”

“Did you know they were baked?”

Clarkson: What’s for dinner?

Hammond: Beans.

At least we know what would be the future mechanical breakdown of this Peugeot

probably the only good use of a peugeot iON ive ever seen

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Ah, but can you cook bacon and eggs on its exhaust?

Maybe if he fires up the diesel heater (he has mounted one but it’s now unmounted)

I’ve got my ion you 👌🏾

I instantly get the Dutch “Hornbach” commercial in my head… Guy talking about their project Things get thrown in their face when they say the word “project” “praat niet over een project als je er niet voor naar Hornbach gaat” (roughly translated:”don’t talk about a project if you won’t go to Hornbach for it”.
