Otmar was his name and I think he did report it running.

I recently replaced my main commuter car with a (leased) 2013 Chevy Volt. I'm addicted to electric only (300+ all electric miles only on it since I got it.)

I know, in the past, a few folk have done electric conversions (not necessarily members of this list). And loaded up the van with lots of (lead acid) batteries and got something like 16 miles per charge out the conversions.

But times have changed. There are other battery choices and more choices in electric motors. Did Otto(? or was it Detmar?) with his stretch ever get the front wheels running in electric motor?
