I really wanted to keep the 6 foot cargo bed free if possible -- for cargo. I'm a maintenance man and maintain real estate rentals. I carry material and tools appropriate to carpentry, electrical, plumbing and roofing.
I think it's possible to put some or all of the batteries under the cargo bed (in a tray mounted to the frame rails), but I'm not sure.

A purely series hybrid probably isn't a good idea unless you're using a gas turbine engine or something.
