Electric Sami

This is interesting:
http://neeaa.org/suzuki.htm

    * 1987 Suzuki Samurai 4 wheel drive
    * 9" ADC motor, DCP 600 controller
    * 144 volt, 24 12 volt UPS batts
    * Top Speed: ~80mph
    * Range: ~20 miles
    * Two military surplus style chargers, upgraded suspension and heavy motor mount

Note the very unique use of the old engine. One-half of a cylinder remains and is used to mount the motor and couple it to the transmission!

again... a cool concept

but the 20 mile range is miniscule

make that 50-100 and it would be a lot more desirable
