Hmm, only need 18 or so of those to equal the battery capacity in my Chevy Volt. Let’s see…1 under each driver seat, maybe 6 under the rear bench. Just gotta find room for 10 more…, and then a few grand for an electric drivetrain, and we might have a range of 10-15 miles…Of course, remove the dino motor and there would be lots of room in the rear for batteries.
