Welcome to ecomodder!
I don't directly have EV experience, but you will need some parts. They could come from other EVs such as a fork lift, just remember their size and "power" has to match or be better than what you expect out of the car, at least with out swapping out parts with larger ones.
The biggest thing that has stopped me from attempting something like this is range (36 miles one way to work) and cost, batteries are not cheap, but are cheaper than gas including the charge costs.
While your looking up EV things, I would suggest looking around at solar panels as well, since they produce power while your not driving it (in the sun of course), and if you think about it early in the project, it would have little to no aero effect on the finished car.
If I was going to convert a car, I would look for either 1. small and can carry a fair amount of weight, or 2. any car that gets good mpg but is a tad bit larger of a car (battery space). I have seen photos/videos of small trucks being converted as well.
However you go about this, I hope to see a project thread on it full of photos, details, and what issues you run into. Good luck with your project!
