I would have to have 2 clutches and a few tecnical things to work out.

It has lots of space for the batteries. I have never seen anyone doing an electric car conversion and yet keeping the internal combustion engine. The electric motor will be hooked up to the existing transmission. Without removing the engine, there is no space to bolt the electric motor in. Hi Don,
