Trying to get a half decent backup option squeezed in is the only reason I've not commit ed to having them all under the hood already.

Placing some of the batteries under the hood and others in the spare tire well might be good if you're willing to eventually fit a range-extender that would require some space under the hood and the fuel tank.
