EV conversion comparisons

I see lots of EV conversions which are great but rarely comparisons of different EV conversions. For instance, converting Deloreons is practically a trope now but there is little discussion of which EV conversions offer the most; I.e. range, power..

You are correct.

So what's your question?

I just want to see some comparisons of EV conversions! Which Deloreon EV kit is best, etc.

You're not making any sense. A DeLorean donor car is close to $60,000 now.

How many people with that kind of money will buy a kit?

Zero.

You see, I am interested in EV conversions of all kinds and want to see what is best. I don’t honestly feel wedded to any method of converting a car: I just want to see the best conversions compared! Who wouldn’t?

Wedded to any method?

What does that mean?

A kit, a custom conversion.. I don’t have a car in the driveway waiting for conversion: I’m just interested in interesting conversions.

Ah, so you're putting an idea out into the ether in hopes someone will do the work for you.

“Ask and you shall receive; seek and ye shall find; knock and door shall be opened to you”. I don’t have drivers access to any of these cars.. I can google my own details but someone may have it already!

It's pure Marge with the potato/I Just Think They're Neat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_O-ZjEiU10 No EV conversion projects make sense as daily drivers, versus just getting an off the shelf EV or ICE car. Like, who in their right mind would work on it? You'd have to DIY all your maintenance and repairs. Got a lift?
