So you'd prefer a 14-gallon tank and gas lines of poisonous and highly combustible liquid and vapor combined with vast amounts of electric wiring? I'd take the batteries any day. Burning petroleum is ridiculously inconvenient and dirty as hell. Search youtube for "EV conversion." There's tons of them and they are completely legal and insured.
Exactly what car or truck has its Gas tank in the front of the vehicle?
Outside of the infamous Pinto's, it takes a whole lot of impact to have an explosion with current fuel tank setups. They have it figured out.
So, Yes I would and do prefer a 16 gallon tank in my case to your time bomb batteries.
Let it be stated that this array of batteries in the Saab is no different than a Golf Cart setup.
So the dude made a Saab golf cart, big deal.
Speaking of useless electric cars, where is the famous Zap cars that were supposed to be taking Lancaster county by storm?
Have not seen one, any one else see one on the road that is not driven by the dealer?
