I miss read your question, I thought you said you wanted rear wheel drive, not a rear engine, I sugested searching for a car that came as a 4 wheel drive option because you can go to a scrap yard and get the rear drive train from alot of the rear wheel drive cars and bolt it on to a it's front wheel drive sibling, electric motors are small enough that the space that would be used by the exhuast and drive shaft shoud be large enough to bolt the motor in, allowing you to place the motor under the car, freeing up space for batteries.
But you want a rear engine car to convert to electric, that is going to really limit your options.
