Here are some places to get your car converted to electric:
*
http://grassrootsev.com
http://jerryrig.com/convert/
http://www.ampmobileconversions.com/
http://labshelf.com/electric-car-conversion.html
http://www.powerhappy.com/Electricalvehicles.html
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150006318396
*
There are also ready-made electric car conversions for sale built by dedicated EV small businessmen and hobbyists - like me. Look at this page:

The above is run by a guy who takes old, cheap cars with good bodies (mostly from the 1980s) and removes the engine. He then installs brand new electric drivetrains. All these cars do freeway speeds. The best part is the price. These cars start under $5000. You won't get state-of-the-art (ranges are more like 50 miles, not 200) but the low prices mean you'll get your investment back in fuel savings quickly.

Another place to find used EVs and hobbyist-built EVs is here:

I own an old EV, built back in 1980. EVs are extremely reliable. My 25-year-old car has all the original motor and electronic parts from 1980, which have never needed service in all those years.

Well I'm an automobile engineer and a car enthusiast and I also cherish the same idea! The future is electric and if you can do it today, you make the future nearer. It's not all that difficult to make an electric car and many people have done this before. If you are genuinely keen on your idea,You can contact me in (+91)9995103575 or 9846494994.
By the way, do you want to use a DC motor or AC motor? A DC motor is what most people adopt, as it's easy. Another advantage with DC is that you can occasionally overload the motor for more power(about 10 times the rated power-for better acceleration). An AC motor will be better in terms of maintanance(no carbon brushes -induction motor) but you'll need to have an invertor to convert the dc output of battery to ac. See www.howstuffworks.dom and look for working of electric car. You'll find something that you want.
