The car went from ~1750 lbs stock to ~2070 post-conversion, roughly.
Yeah, I would say the batteries are going to be the biggest challenge. Cheap, decent motors & other componentns are available to the patient & resourceful, and a DIY controller keeps costs down in that department.
Eventually it will be possible to find used lithium, since more and more people are putting them in conversions now. But we'll likely never upgrade the ForkenSwift, since 20-30 km on used lead is gravy. For use in a small city, it's already literally more range than is needed.
