If your heart is set on the s10 leave to Volt alone convert it to transverse FWD and plop a $500 Nissan Leaf AC motor controller combo onto the rear axle along with a $900 Volt battery under the bed and OEM Charger.

Use the open source Nissan Leaf canbus Proto all’s to drive the OEM Nissan controller and call it a day, might need to regear the rearend to pull tree stumps and call it a day.

OEM will be much more reliable than inline and likely better power to weight given the t-case and shafts can go away, gas economy should go up
