>RPR>If you know of anyone who has built an electric vehicle or if you
>RPR>have can you send me your address so I can ask a few questions?

I have a producion model electric called commuta car that was 
made in florida. Don't know how much it was new but I paid a grand for it
about 5 years ago

>RPR>1.      How many batteries were used and what exact type where they?

Mine has 9 - 6 volt golf cart batteries. Deep winter sucks a lot of power 
due to the cold, but I still have enough to get back and forth to work.

>RPR>2.      Did you use the exact same transmission already in the car

The motor is directly coupled to the rear end differential housing.
