Been finding it difficult to find any examples where a modern car which was new in 2020 or thereabouts was converted to electric. All conversions happily talk about converting old cars, just with modern cars there are so many electrical modules, sensors etc, if I rip out the engine the ECU etc will light up like a Christmas tree let alone electronic systems not working rendering the car just mechanically useable bar basic electrics. Would be great to see examples. If your wondering why you'd convert a nearly new car its because currently electric cars are so expensive would it make sense to do a DIY conversion on a nearly new car? Lots of questions but no answers...help!

Exactly my point. Definately a challenge for any car onversion company out there. Try converting my VW Passat Estate 2020 SEL diesel into electric.... not a classic car with only lights/indicators, heater motor, wiper motor and radio, that's the easy conversions. I'm sure my car is loaded with tons of black boxes everywhere and complicated coding, with the slightest touch it'll all mess up and throw loads of warning lights.
