However, after looking at the current battery technology it just didn't sense. I just thought the treasure chest would be the perfect spot for the batteries. But at $4,500 for the conversion kit plus 12 $200 batteries and then only having a 50 to 75 mile range, I went back to an engine. Maybe when the battery tecnology gets better. Here's the link I was looking at. http://www.e-volks.com/about.html
