I am looking at getting a conversion shop/center started and I need feedback/suggestions on whether or not my business plan is accurate, economical, or even possible.

My Goal is to have a mechanic shop that can convert regular vehicles to either, EV's, Diesel Hybrids, Gas Hybrid, Plug-In Hybrids. A Bio-diesel Plug in Hybrid would be the best model, but are such conversions possible, economically?

To cut down costs I would try to manufacture as many custom parts as possible.

Government Grants will be ideal, to help with start up costs and technology innovations. Having University Co-op programs available for engineering students will help with getting the rants. Also hiring recently graduated students in this field will not only benefit the shop with cutting-edge knowledge it would again help with funding from organizations.

Before I get started with a serious business plan and start applying for more funding than I already have, I want to know if this is at all possible, or at least a good idea and worth a shot.

Problems/difficulties I am aware of already:
Cost and availability of diesel engines
Labor/time costs
Custom machinist difficulties
Hiring/Finding a Head Engineer Mechanic (an expert)
Market Economics (will it even be worth the conversion costs with current hybrids and EV's now being sold on the market today and in the near future)

I know there are many more difficulties and challenges. I would appreciate as much feedback, help, criticism an I can get.
