    Lots of cool ideas. The battery life, charge duration, and cost are the sticking points. If money was no option, it would be interesting to experiment and add solar panels on top, generators on the wheels, small fossil or nat gas fueled generator with hydrogen, etc, to see how far it could be driven without requiring connection to a outside power source. Sort of the old perpetual motion attempt. I doubt we will ever see one commercially because the energy industry is such a income producer.

    Could someone post a photo of an electric engine? In all my years, don't know that I have ever seen one.

    Pretty cool looking motors. I guess that I am living in the dark ages when an engine was internal combustion, and electric power was a motor.

    Choppedtop, that’s exactly the definition of each. A motor is electric. An engine is fuel ( gas, diesel, natural gas, LP) powered. Many people interchange the two.

    The batteries would replace the gas tank (the gas tank would be tossed during this conversion). You might even install a couple of batteries in the engine bay along side the electric motor.
