£6k will buy you an EV conversion kit for your 2CV, including batteries and a controller that will do regen-braking:

I'm considering the costs of EV converting a car, probably either a Peugeot 106 (Has space for a bike or two inside, good cDA, cheap maintenance, and easier to insure as 106 EVs already exist) or a Westfield (New rolling chassis available for about £5k from the factory).
My commute is currently 11 miles each way, hilly but country roads so 40mph max would be acceptable... an achievable target for a cheap homebrew EV.
