For the cost of the motor no, for the entire vehicle yes.
Infact I would spend about $6k to make a very capable be it fairly limited range electric S-10. That price includes the price of using smallish 40lb 12v deep cycle batteries to get system voltage of 144VDC.
A smaller vehicle with a smaller motor and less of a motor controler with fewer/smaller batteries would knock at least a couple grand off the cost.
