I've thought of the same thing for my mini. Smart ED is also a good candidate, similar range and performance with a smaller footprint for the battery so it may be more compact than the iMiev. I've checked the smart gas rear subframe looks like it would come out with suspension pretty easily. iMiev looks like if you used the whole subframe you'd have to fabricate top mounts for the struts. However the smart doesn't have the chademo quick charge if that matters to you.
