This can be done for a few thousand dollars, though for the best results, I would plan on spending close to $10,000.

I drive an electric car I bought from eBay for $2000. I then invested another $2000 to replace batteries, and fix the car up.

At LEAST ten thousand dollars. But if you don't know what you're doing, no amount of money will do it for you. Your biggest problems will be finding batteries and retrofitting whatever motor you find to connect to the drivetrain. Not to mention controls....
I almost guarantee you can't make one street legal for less than the cost of a slightly used hybrid.
