I've talked to a few electric car conversion shops and they've mentioned with DC current applications i could get about 150 miles on a daytime use (no mountain passes) only fully electric (requires a manual transmission) vehicle batterys are 6 volt. With AC current applications motors can regenerate (charge) when the car is braking or coasting, but they tell me it reqiures twice as many batterys and your range decreased to 80 miles at best. The best answer i've heard so far was by jim, maybe somebody can elaborate on this because i'm sceptical to the ranges they're telling me. please help.
