This is probably the best thread that Mark Sanders/UK explains his conversion of an S4 Elan to EV and is the path I am following. https://www.diyelectriccar.com/threads/ ... s4.203693/

It's most impressive, Mark did a very thoughtful and educated conversion. If you decide to take a serious look, he's in Poole, right across the channel, perhaps you should consider popping over at some point, he's most accomodating to show it off, including a drive!
