Cut my car in half?
Hi everyone, I've got a crazy idea that I wanted to float to see if it had been done before or if there is any feasibility to it. I have a 94 Mazda 626 that I use to commute 70 miles rt per day. I've been toying with the idea of doing an EV convert but I'm limited by the speed/range trade off. So I thought of something a bit more radical - cut it in half. Convert it to a two seat tandem, replace some of the metal body components with composites and do some other aero mods. Since I'm the only one that rides in it seems very wasteful to push a ton and a half down the road everyday. Besides, I think it would look kinda cool. My theory (hope) is that with the reduced weight and frontal area I'd be able to pull off the EV convert. I don't know what the DMV and insurance folks would say. Do I need to have my head examined? My wife thinks so.
Thanks.
