I'm leaning more towards VW transmissions due to their wide availability here and therefore them being rather inexpensive and very easy to get replacement parts for. Unless there are of course better alternatives that aren't much more expensive. My original estimate for a budget lays around 5,000 - 10,000 euro, attempting to prove that electric vehicles don't have to be ridiculously expensive in purchase yet can also be very refined at lower costs; no head-on going 'cheapsy' either so to speak.
