How are the gauges, abs, traction control, power steering , heat and a/c 12v system etc going to work? Weight distribution is going to be all messed up too unless you can put part of the battery under the hood. That could be dangerous in a crash too. You'll also need a cooling system for the battery and motors. The whole idea is a can of worms if you don't want a hack job.
