Yup, they don't convert the PHEV because nobody wants the extra hassle for a niche market. I also reached out to Canoo and received no response. VW basically said they'll let other companies take care of conversions - same as the rest of manufacturers.
And these aren't cars people change often so since I don't have any options now that means I'm stuck driving ICE for ~15 years. Sienna with conversion is around $100k.
Some of the oldest cars I see on the road are accessible vans. My ex-BIL is still being hauled around in a late 90s Dodge Caravan. It sucks that electric van makers don't seem to have considered this.
