I am thinking about building a Electric pickup truck, I need it to have a 80-120 mile range in one day and top speed of 60 MPH.

I am seriously thinking about finding a old Toyota or Mazda or Isuzu pickup with a blown engine and using golf cart batteries in the bed and finding a motor suitable to stuff in the engine bay, mated to either an Auto Transmission or a variable gearing belt like a snowmobile.

It would be one of our work trucks and if it works I will build another. Gas costs for my work trucks, 2 of them, runs me over $1100 a month right now. How long before that would pay for itself.
