That should tip the balance a little, shouldn't it?

How about the Toyota Highlandet/Lexus LX400h?

For the Myers Manx I'm promoting there are essentially three build levels. First is the way they did it in the 1970s, a forklift motor and lead acid batteries. See Project Forkenswift from 2007 (Index in 1st post)

What changed is OEM pieces and parts -- motors, controllers and batteries. An example would be the electric axle from the Toyota/Lexus hybrid: ecomodder.com/forum: Hot-rodding the Toyota MGR



I got this far with this one, unit in the subframe, minus the motor mounts, controller, batteries, battery box, etc., & etc. It would just as well go into my Geo Metro.

The high end would be the way VW themselves do it, a complete eUP! drivetrain:

VW is providing electric powertrains to convert...
It has been developed in part with a Stuttgart-based EV conversion company called eClassics. Classic VWs converted to electricity aren't new, but the fact that this uses a complete VW electric powertrain is. Replacing the air-cooled flat-four-cylinder engine is the electric motor and single-speed transmission...
Greece is part of a Union, is it not?
