I like the Canoo, too. The transparent A- and C-pillars.

From the article I linked it looks like xBus has supply chain problems.

Expensive but OEM:

VW Launches An Electric Conversion Kit For The Classic Beetle
To be exact, the company will extract the Beetle's air-cooled flat-four-cylinder engine and replace it with the electric drivetrain from the existing e-up! city car, including the single-speed gearbox. With the removal of the rear-mounted petrol engine, there's the bonus of a usable amount of boot space. (Credit: Volkswagen)

Volkswagen will offer all-electric conversion for vintage Beetles
In this case, VW will bolt your Beetle's body onto a new platform with the electric drive system installed for the equivalent of $55,000, which is similar to the price of a conversion of an existing car by Zelectric Motors in San Diego, which charges $56,000. Or you can just buy the platform to install in your own car for $44,000.
