Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

For what? TL; DR.
Other EVs
BYD? What else is available in the USafA?
Rivian, Hyundai Ioniq, Mustang Mach-E, Polestar, Electric Ford F150
Kia, Audi, VW, Porsche, Mini,
Getting a body from the scrappers and just having one built. There's atleast two in my city.
Woah, first I'm hearing about this. How's it work? What's it called? How do you find a place?
The how it works is pretty simple, you can get most of the parts either commercially or via direct order. Also what you can do will vary based off of body a 2001 Honda Civic will have vastly different requirements for both parts and modifications needed vs a 1956 Volkswagen Bug. Also it'll vary by how much of the original car is left, if it is literally just the frame or if it's got everything except the engine will effect how you do things.
As for how to get it done, look around for companies or go to a car show. When I say car show I mean the type with dedicated areas for Hotrods and weird campers. If they have a Yugo or Fiat Polski then you are probably in the right place, chat with folks and you'll either find someone who can point you in the right direction or will offer to do it.
I have a friend that does EV conversion of RAM Promaster. Might do that with my model 3 in order to avoid selling to a nazi.
ive seen a ton of people get ioniq, my parents got one leased, i dont like the sunroof that much.
Hyundai Ioniq 5 is a good car for the price. I see them quite a lot too.
its leased to my parent right now.
Pick a manufacturer. They all make models now.
Not all of the manufacturers are available in the USA though.
The only BYDs available in the USA are busses, trucks and forklifts. No cars unfortunately. Same with all the other Chinese brands like MG - none of them are available in the USA.
Most of the Japanese, South Korean, and German EV brands are available in the USA, in addition to American brands of course. Ford, Kia, Hyundai, VW, BMW, Audi, Cadillac, Chevy, Dodge, Genesis, Honda, and probably others I'm forgetting.
Skoda and if you're fancy Porsche?
It's annoying that it says "data from Edmunds published on Thursday" but doesn't link to the data.
This world wide web has gotten a lot less webby over time as each page tries its damnedest not to give you options to go anywhere else.
