About 30 years ago I saw a Hyundai Excel that had been converted locally. It used a fork lift motor, original 5 speed gearbox and 12v lead acid car batteries. The batteries were packed into the rear luggage area. Its range was about 80km! Usable around the city but it took about 20 hours to fully recharge the batteries in a home garage (240v). How things have changed.
