Subject:Electric Vanagon in Blue Hill, Maine

Just ran into a guy w/ an 85 GL w/ all electric power. Nice install, he
says he can go about 50 miles on a charge of the 45 lithium ion batteries
he has under the rear seat & 2 built in jump seats($10K for batteries!)
He did the install himself-former Porsche mechanic, took out the gas tank,
etc. & says power is about the same as a 1.9 gas engine.  He uses it to run
errands & says charging takes 5-6 hours.
Film at 11.

Mr. BZ-replaced a Tiico
