I've been in the same boat on that one. I saw an EV s-10 on CL a few months back whenever they were having that awesome sale on Leaf battery packs. I looked into what it would cost and couldn't make it work for me. I think unless you have a set commute or nowhere to be an electric car is tough to make work.
