This seems like the best option so far. Somebody on another ev forum was promoting using the gas engine with electric supplement but I think this will be better especially in the future as battery technology increases.
I am actually converting this to an RV, very non-conventional though. All light weight materials, no excessive appliances (like a mini-fridge). Its more of a touring van for a band that I am designing to mostly lived in but in and around cities so utilities and food will be easy access.
It will mainly be doing long highway trips so regen braking might not help but I think an AC motor might be better for future upgrades and such. Does anyone know of any literature on similar conversions? Websites, books, videos, anything that might help me more with the specifics of engineering such a project?
