Hadn't really thought about that about the convertable.
I know that the trucks are real common conversions. I have a 4 cylinder S10. Part of the reason I got it was the idea that I could convert it to electric someday.
For this conversion, I am trying to do something smaller, lighter, and pretty low tech.
Leaning more towards a Geo Metro type conversion right now, but gotta admit a Miata would be a cool little electric.
The other downside to a convertable is that it is almost unusable as a winter car. (especially rear-wheel drive) However, since batteries don't work as well in the winter, I am not sure how great my economy electric car would be range-wise in the winter anyhow.
Like I said, I am still trying to figure out what would work best for this project.
