Has anyone tried to go electric? With batteries getting much better over the next few years, it might be a lot cheaper to retro fit electric drive. Just a thought.

I like the idea of an home brew electric but have always assumed it would turn out terrible or be too difficult.

Does anyone know how much the car would likely weigh after a conversion? Would the car be more feather like with no engine or transmission or would the motors and battery end up weighing more then the original package?

No matter what you guys say.

I'm the one paying for fish tacos with 100's on a daily basis. LoL. I'm the one that walks into a store and grab whatever I feel like graving because I don't look at the price. Im the one that people come to for a loan, heck I'm your atm. I drive around with my square
