the Saab should have space for alot of batteries, but it is going to take alot to get it going as well, so regen braking would be nice with a car like that.
I'm not sure about the motor. I have a 9" / 36V motor from my old forklift but that might not be the right one. I need at least 96 V. Regenerative braking would be top but it will require an AC motor (=$$$$). I haven't really looked into that, don't really know how that works together with the real brakes??
