I just put 160 lbs of salt in the back of my little pickup truck. Wow! I could feel the difference right away.

If I did a small rear wheel drive electric vehicle, most of the batteries would go in the back, and put a lot of weight over the rear tires.

That should really make the thing stick to the ground.
