 Why not offer it "free to good home" in hopes somebody else has the
resources to fix it and the need to use it? I don't think you stated
the location or model year, that would be relevant.
 

EV just doesn't make any sense financially at all.  I don't have the
knowledge to boot strap a wrecked EV into it.  That is the ONLY way I've
seen anybody do an EV conversion even half affordable.

 EVs make sense only in rather limited use cases. Sounds like yours isn't
one of them.

I rarely if ever offer anything for free anymore.  To many vultures out there who profiteer off of it, rather than people with a real need who would appreciate it. I used to, but I grew weary of chasing off carrion eaters.  If I stumble across somebody, but not to the general public maybe.
