add another vote to coming to the dark diesel side. Aaron at Boraparts should be able to get you the 3 cyl TDi and engine wire harness. I want to do an EV something bad, but the reality of my driving is I need more than what the batteries can give. Factor in in the cost of batteries, their life and cost to charge, I can go 170K miles on diesel. One of my 98 Jetta TDi's has 390K miles. Batteries are part of the fuel equation some ignore. 45mph will get me rear ended and killed on part of my commute.
