The best bang for the buck, is to go with flooded 6v golf cart style batteries. If you're doing a truck, you'll have the room / GVWR. 12v batteries won't last as long - the plates aren't as robust as the 6v ones.

I'm not sure if I would go AC or DC though and what that impacts in way of costs:

AC is more moolah. DC components are more common, and if you start scrounging now, you may be able to pick up some used ones before your deadline.

I am basically making a grocery getter, bad weather transport, and big item transport. I would like to put my kayak in the back and take it easily to a river or lake that is 6 miles away. If the weather is good (and I don't have to carry anything big or rush anywhere), I can ride my bike and will continue to do so, even with an EV.
