<VV> Converting a Corvair to electric viable?

[Bob Gilbert]

With respect - "something that won't work worth spit" is a far, far cry from
what is currently achievable with electric vehicles.

Like all vehicles, electric vehicles are compromises. My F150 and my Hyundai
econobox are totally different and work well within their own "context", the
F150 handles like a truck, is a pig on gas but carries car parts and tows my
boat. The Hyundai is great for fuel mileage and for a daily commuter mobile.
My Corvair fits in another category altogether. Each has its role and "fit"
and so do electric vehicles.

Regards,
Bob

No electric cars are viable, and there is no prospect of them becoming 
viable in the next 20 years, so Corvairs will be no more or less viable than

any other vehicles (i.e. not so at all).

Hooray!  Somebody that actually sounds like an engineer!

Don't b!tch-up a classic car just to make something that won't work worth
spit even if you design it from the ground up!
