    Depends. Quick scan puts it at about $AU20 grand just for electrification, which is already a good ways towards the cost of a new one.

    With that kind of money, you could reasonably buy a secondhand EV, like a Leaf ($AU16 grand), and swap out the battery on top ($AU10 grand), and come out around the same kind of price. Might even come out on top, just by virtue of the EV having systems and gauges that were designed around it being an EV that could be reused.
