After restoring and driving a 76 C-Car I'm going to agree. The chassis was never designed to go faster than 45mph. 30mph is fairly scary on the flats. I did a wilwood brake upgrade on the front (designed for a golf cart) and even then the brakes would only be barely sufficient for a 50mph stop. The steering is both heavy and vague and is almost jumpy at 30mph. If you really want an EV you'll be best served by doing a conversion on a car with the suspension bits designed to drive that fast. A Geo Metro or 1st gen Honda Crx would be good candidates. 96 volts at a minimum.
