I did some research into this. One website I remember is www.evconvert.com.

You want a VERY light car. You do not want an extra 500#. That is why people go with the Metro. The exception to this rule is if you do a pickup then you have lots of room for a ton (literally) of batteries. You need to seriously consider range and battery life. Personally I would wait and see what happens with the new Firefly carbon foam batteries that are coming out next year. They are talking big things. The replacement cost of lead acid batteries really takes a bite out of the economics. Lead acid batteries have a lot to be desired. The Firefly battery solves all the problems. The only question is what will the price be.
