Last year I saw 2011 Nissan Leaf's with 30 miles of range go for $3K in Texas. $2K was plausible for that time with a quick buyer and a motivated seller. EV prices have shot up a lot the last year, but even a u cheaper than converting a 2000s Cadillac. Converting a modern luxury sedan to...

Maybe I am biased but it doesn't seem like a POS to me. Super practical and it's actually pretty quick! I will take my quirky little Nissan with the weak battery, that I can drive to work tomorrow, over a junkyard cts build. A CTS EV conversion is certainly possible but you might want to start...
