Hi Mike and All, I see it differently as new EV's are a source of lowcost quality EV parts, batteries especially. And most of the EV conversions one can update with lithium getting a 100 mile + range EV at low cost one can fix themselves. And as controllers get hacked motors, controllers and chargers become cheap. And we can make some EV's with those parts that can really shine or you can't get like EV pickups. Put a Leaf pack in a Karman Ghia EV and doing it yourself you have a 240 mile EV for $10k. For more money an extremely fast one. Or one in an older Mini Pickup EV macked out give cool, class, range and a practical pickup. Now there is a possibility of a 300 mile range 64Vette all composite clone at a reasonable price. All because of this great new parts source production EV's are.

At first, it was all conversions. In the last couple years, it has become about 1/3 conversions and 2/3 production EVs. Some of the engineers have specifically commented that they would like to see more conversions. That is hard when they are being taken out of service or moving out of the valley and few people are building new ones.
