This Ultravan is right up our alley as a conversion and in your neighborhood. Don't know if it is still available but a Leaf drivetrain and battery might just weigh the same as the former drivetrain. My idea for the Leaf drivetrain and 3kw of solar panels I think is an engineering match. 10 hour charge time and maybe 15 to 25mph speed with no battery use...just a thought...nudge..nudge..Lawrence Rhodes http://corvair.org/chapters/ultravan/used/used322.html _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
