XH electric conversion?

[KiwiJohn]

What would happen to me? Would I be banished to the deepest dungeons in the kingdom if I converted my XR6 XH ute to electric?



The vehicle, which I have had since new, is in very good condition and much admired and the general reaction I hear is that I should not 'spoil' it but rather get a wreck and convert that. There is that but I could live with myself!

My opinion is that a vehicle in sound condition will make an easier and less expensive conversion whereas converting a dunga would be the cost of a restoration and a conversion. Of course I love my ute, it is in regency red, has body kit, leather interior, pukka sun visor and a deck lid, all fitted at new but for all that I doubt it would bring enough in a sale to equal a good restoration.

I would be looking for a conversion with good (not tyre shredding) performance and 400 or so K range, 300 would be OK.

So what do you think?

Anyone done such a conversion.

P.S. I am in my 70's and would be paying to have the conversion done.
