Tesla, Tango, and the Phoenix vehicles show that the technology is there if you have the money.
While I started getting the parts for my conversion, I figured I'd get the batteries last so as to not have them just sitting around. In a matter of a couple of weeks the prices went up from the $170 per battery to $240. I hear they are due for another increase in another week. I ended up swallowing the increase but that means putting other parts of the conversion on hold until I save some more pennies.
