Great series. It’s feeding my brain so I can start thinking about sensible questions.

[@MisledDan]

Being that by law, a vehicle must make a sound while in motion, do the noises from the motor, tire tread and transmission (plus whatever else I might be leaving out) all typically prove sufficient enough on your conversions?

I’m just gathering thoughts at this stage. Are there pros and cons about taking an existing setup eg motor, controller, battery from a Nissan leaf for a conversion, vs buying new kit parts?

[@ianlighting100]

One day I’d like to convert my ‘74 Vw bus, but can’t afford it right now. Would a motor from a Nissan leaf (2014) have enough power to drive the bus? I’m guessing it’s similar weights so could be ok.
