Jag, unlike most EV makers, doesn't beat EV with ugly stick

I've long wanted to update and electrify a 2000-2004 Ford Thunderbird (stop judging me).

I have one of those, although not electric

I
want
that

but am afeared of how much it costs. It looks like a great setup.

edit: found one article that said:

In terms of price it falls under the 'Jaguar Reborn' division which restores classics to mint condition, which means you'll be looking at around £300,000.

Ouch. The original "XKE" has been the car that I've always lusted over. In its place, I've had a Datsun 240Z, an Integra GS-R (we had kids), and now a Tesla Roadster. Still lusting over the Jag, but I'm not willing to give up my 3.9 seconds 0-60 and revolutionary "this car started the modern EV era" status, and certainly not at that price.
