    I have an old 4x4 with a bad engine and I’ve really considered trying to EV swap it. It has a 1.3 liter engine in it, and I wouldn’t need a huge motor, I just wonder where I’d put the batteries.

      I’m sure you could find some space after removing all the ICE components, even just where the fuel tank was. I was considering doing something like this back in high school. I’m not sure how active things are, but ecomodder was quite a good resource back then.
