Reducing the weight to a rounded ton could probably take that estimated 18 second 0-60 time and bring it down to 10 and increase the range.

According to his info on EV Album, there are 60 lead acid batteries installed (33 lbs each) for a 1,980 lbs total battery weight. If you subtract that from the 3200 lbs curb weight, it gives a 1220 lbs vehicle weight without batteries. This is a low weight, given that it has the front half of a Metro hidden inside and needs to have the structural strength needed to support a ton of battery weight in that long wheel base.
