VW platforms for Electric Conversion - dieselgate cars

[Brando]

Subject: What to do with old VW diesel cars.

1- Have VW remove engines, exhaust, fuel tanks

2- Let these shells be converted to electric vehicles.
(careful, don't allow ICE engines put back)
(perhaps give VW ZEV credits on these, if VW wants)
- who might/would buy these shells?
- Do It Yourself people
- existing electric conversion companies - EVwest is an example
- schools and colleges could take on a shop projects

Please help. Others may know better places to promote this idea. Conversion people could use these VW shells, yes?

Need to develop a kit. An electric motor with VW driveshaft connection and a battery pack that fits in the gas tank cavity.

I suspect many would do exactly that IF these VW shells were available.
EV West for example just one of many. try internet search
