I see they’re dumping the engine but I wonder how they’re handling the transmission. I bet it’s probably a manual only conversion.
EV conversion has been a thing for a while, albeit not at this scale, and my understanding is that automatic transmissions just turn to sand against the torque of a singular big EV motor. That’s why most dedicated EVs don’t have transmissions at all in favor of wheel specific motors and SSR gears.

someone needs to debunk the technicalities behind their ‘conversion’. for 15k€ you would still get a second hand EV in good condition
Manual EV? I’m OK with that!
