Converting This Mercury Comet Wagon To Electric Should Cost Under $4,000

  • The donor car, which has the battery pack and drive unit for the EV conversion cost $3,000.
  • The EV controller that makes everything work was another $1,000.
  • This EV swap project will get a custom-fabricated De Dion rear axle that will house a Nissan Leaf drive unit.

If you love both electric vehicles and old cars, you can marry the two and create a modern EV-swapped classic. Electrified classics preserve all the style and character of the original, but they eliminate tailpipe emissions and many of the maintenance and reliability woes associated with running a vehicle that’s many decades old.
