I need to either perform alot of repair on my Xterra or scrap it and buy a new vehicel. As such, I'm considering a conversion and to do some non-standard things. I am somewhat skilled at mechanics and fabrication.

I'd like to achieve:

• 250miles per charge,
• <=80mph
• regen braking (understand I need an AC system)
• NOT use the old transmission (can i use four independent motors)
• understand if I can mount solar panels (roof...hood?)
• small generator (biofuels) to recharge if no station avail

Staring a feasibility study for the above in terms of cost, difficulty and limits.

Any thoughts and advice are appreciated.
