On second thought (making myself look flighty I guess) an '80's 240 wagon has a payload of 1200 lb stock. Replacing tired rear springs with overload or progressive types or stock ones is a pretty easy job for a driveway DIY'er.

So if the battery budget is there, you could load a huge quantity of batteries into one of those. Sedan version has a somewhat reduced payload but similar. But with a wagon there's a huge cargo area to work with that still leaves room for other stuff.
