Any reputable places that professional convert cars and estimated prices to do so..?

Answer 1

I drive an EV conversion, and I love it. You should be aware, however, that a car with automatic transmission is a poor candidate for conversion. The electric motor doesn't need the transmission, so it will just waste energy. Below is a page with links to electric converter businesses. Converted cars can be had for as little as $5000, though $10000 is a more typical expenditure:
