There was no improvement in short term considering the respiratory risk or the long term considering climate change. I overall like to talk and promote more greener tech, whether it is ways to reduce our consumption, to make items last longer, repairable or recyclable. I plan to convert my old buzzbox of a car to electric some time in the future and hopefully re-use components from an electric forklift.

I got inspiration for the EV conversion project from the ForkenSwift, and IIRC that took about a year for them. If you went the salvage route, it is mostly time spent on finding the parts or getting the car certified but, I have no direct experience with conversions other than small RC car modifications such as switching NiCd to Lithium batteries or changing motors.
I was also told that if you area has salvage/write-off EVs such as Leafs, it is better to take components from that than a forklift. Which make sense as it is more purpose built.
