    Some guys in Russia (?) start out with the innards of a Nissan Leaf and decide to rebuild them into a futuristic electric van. No idea if it's going to work - I never heard of an electric vehicle with a manual transmission before - but they are doing it anyhow.

    Nissan already does this. The e-NV200 is using the Leaf drive train. The only major change might be the addition of a cooling fan to the battery.

    Many EV conversions use a manual transmission.
