Now we have a scenario to respond to.

In the last few years, junkyards have quietly filled up with OEM electrical components that are likely superior to what you used in your conversion. Carefully evaluate what you have—batteries, controller and motor. Transferring the old stuff into a new body may not be the best option (although it may also be).

A stanced Prius would get my vote. but you're up against those fenderwell clearance rules.

Also, the frontal area of a pontoon-fendered car is greater that the cross-section at the B-pillar. It doesn't become important until you get to jet planes with their 'area rule'.
