People have been making EV VW Beetle since forever. The 914 is just a weird looking Beetle. :P

Probably have to accept it would be a short range car for going to work in warm but not hot weather and not a touring car.

The point isn't that it can't be done, EV conversions have been done for decades at this point, but that you'll get a car that's a whale compared to the original.
