Was looking into this a few motnsh ago, but a conversion kit for an ICE car was around 10–20k + labor (or tools if you’re DIYing it)… that’s pretty steep.

Seems steep, but since good used cars are well into 5 figures, but one with a blown motor can be had for a few $k, add $10-20k and we're still in range of a good used car or bottom-of-the-barrel new car, and below most electrics... and batteries are getting cheaper, e.g., by 10% in August alone [0] — this could be good!
