1) The insight has some undertrays, its not nearly a solid/flat surface though.
2) He'll be rebalancing and replacing parts of the pack if necessary. There is a pretty good thread by RobertSmalls that tell you how to do it. You can not use deep cycle lead acid batteries.
3) The entire pack only weighs 65 lbs. Fuel savings from removing it would be nothing.
