The main trick to an EV Delorean is fab'ing a plate to mount the
electric motor to the tranny and then trying to distribute the heavy
batteries in a manner that emulates the weight distribution of the
original engine and fuel tank (and mounting the speed controller and
other relays).
Also because it's a sports car and not a truck you're limited in where
and how many batteries you can carry which cuts down on your range.
I'd keep the original battery and compartment as a "house" battery to
power the headlights and accessories. You may as well forget about A/C
unless you plan to reduce your range to about 10 miles. I suspect and
EV-DMC would be significantly heavier than the gas powered model.
It's a tricky business.
