Almost a quarter century ago, the Evergreen Mini replica of 1995 weighed 330kg without the battery. It could support a battery of up to 470kg, almost 60% of the total mass! With a modern lithium battery of that mass, I estimate that it would have a range of over 300mi (500km). http://www.solarmobil.net/mini.htm Brusa's Axel Krause put a 375kg 18kwh Saft NiCd battery in one and got a range of 220km. http://www.evdl.org/pages/evergreen.html Shame that they only built a few.
