As far as batteries in a Ford Transit conversion, the floor is already very high. Without a transmission or driveshaft in the way, there is a ton of room between the frame rails. Right now there is a 25 gallon feul tank on one side and an exhaust system on the other, with a driveshaft down the center. A Leaf 40 kWh pack is about the same size as a 30 gallon feul tank, there is easily room for 60 kWh of leaf modules in all that space, but I think 40 kWh would be enough for a day's work.
