My end goal is an electric conversion. I came across this collection of videos taking you through the process of conversion if anyone is interested. Skip to the 11th - Test Drive - 14mins for immediate result!

Range on this with its battery bank ~48 - 60miles. Perhaps for the future when batteries get better; more efficient/higher energy density, quicker to charge etc - or perfect for now as a town run around, perhaps with an additional 'bank' for distance in a trailer?

Any one else thought about this?

Video been around a while. Fantastic experiment but to make it really viable, the heavy body of a T25 would need some serious modifications.

Who's going to make some carbon fibre body panels then?

I'm thinking long term here as battery technology is developing. Read about an interesting one the other day using carbon cath & anodes with an organic electrolyte, the boffins are in the process of upscaling to test. Cheap, light, more energy dense than a Li-ion, quicker charge (semi-capacitor type), fully recyclable and doesn't require the strip mining of Bolivia in the process.....

Oh hell, why not combine the 2? http://www.reinforcedplastics.com/view/ ... ar-panels/
