Yeah, battery size is still a bit of a problem, Broomie! Your heart may be in the right place, but maybe that big bad battery needs to be repositioned….
Actually, there’s a company (maybe a few of them) that yank the engines out of old-style “car-sized-cars” and put a whole bunch of batteries, an electric motor, and the rest of the necessary stuff into the holes. Works like a charm. Makes the “make a teeny little car so we don’t need as many batteries” school of thought look a little silly. A friend and I drove his converted Chrysler New Yorker from LA to Bakersfield and back, up and over the Grapevine both ways, with this “low-tech” approach.

I think you want to try that with a rear engine vehicle, like a old VW Beetle.

Could you please provide the names of the companies? (Does it work w/ minivans?)

@psaltseller I second realman’s request. It sounds almost impossible.
