I think we will see affordable AC drive systems in EVs and for DIYers as soon as there is mass production. The trouble is, there will not be mass production until battery technology makes affordable high capacity, light weight batteries a reality.
There are currently cheap DC systems because their users, primarily forklifts don't require light weight. Infact something like a forklift actually takes advantage of heavy weight batteries as they need them as ballast.
