because i’m thinking about in the future, converting one of the cars that my parents already own and its an automatic. does it have to be manual? or can i get one of those motors that don’t have a transmission like the one in the tesla roadster? not one of those cheap ones that only reach 80 km/h, i mean the ones that can reach highway speed on one gear.

well, here are a few questions that i have.

do electric cars have to be manual? or can they be automatic?
can i convert the transmission to manual? keep in mind that the gear selector is on the steering column.
how much is it to get an electric motor that doesn’t need a transmission?

and last question, which option you go with if you were doing a conversion yourself? (money is not an issue)

thanks
