Personally, I'd have to say for the most part no, at least not quite yet. DIY is the way to go. I can build exactly what I want with a DIY conversion. I select the chassis I like and then adding and electric drivetrain is pretty easy (vs ICE). Its also WAY cheaper. I can build the car I need (with ~20 miles of range or so worst case), not just what an OEM wants to sell me. It will cost me under $10k. It'll also be more fun than the OEM version. Even the Mitsubishi I-MIEV, which is closest to my wants is still about three times that price. Of course a warranty would be nice, but with how often EVs break its almost a non-issue I think.
However, I am really looking forward to the days of used MIEVs and Leafs in years to come. Ask me again in 2-3 years and my answer will probably change.
