Simplest Most Frugal but Effective ConversionWhat are the easiest vehicles to convert? I have an 86 Ranger with a 4 banger and manual tranny. The Beetle looks easier to me with it's rear mounted engine compartment but what do the knowledgeable say? I can go shopping for particular vehicles if the experienced recommend them. I don't know where to start with a motor and batteries either... AC DC? Lithium cells I assume are the go to? I enjoy the 'utility' approach. I am looking forward to the discussion here. Thanks
Buy a second hand EV - a Leaf or something
You cannot build anything nearly as good for less than about twice as much as one will cost
Think of converting a car in the same area as building a Hot Rod - if you want something unique that is the way to go
Want to save money? - NOT the way to go
