What would you like to know? I work at an EV conversion company in The Netherlands so I can give you some answers.
Libraio-
Where do I even start!
I suppose I'm just trying to get a better grasp on the options for acquiring DIY parts for a conversion to start with...
- Are Tesla motors the way to go (they seem to be from my research thus far... I think I'd like to go with an LDU in the back and either a second LDU or an SDU in front in order to retain AWD)
- Is direct drive off the motors the way to go? No gearbox?
- In terms of batteries that are currently available are the Tesla ones best? How do the Nissan Leaf ones compare? What would you consider to be the best option in terms of performance vs cost vs space? Can you mix and match different batteries to best suit available space?
I'm probably not even asking the right questions but I'm really only at the light bulb moment in terms of planning at the moment...

Yeah I'm expecting it to cost quite a bit but less than the cost of buying a new or used Tesla...
