This is a fun project put together by a young mechanical engineer. He details in other videos the complete process, but this is a good overview of the project, the results, and final costs, including mistakes and specialty tools he used. I like his pragmatic approach. The vehicle has a range of 100-150 miles which is fine for his daily usage. After conversion, the car only weighs 50# more than stock. Are there alternatives? Sure, a used Leaf can be had for the same money but this is a unique vehicle that was a great learning experience too.
