I'm stunned that THAT car could be made into an electric.

Look at all of that heavy steel.

Probably goes 15mph top speed.

Actually electric motors get up to speed faster than gas engines, due to instant torque. With the right electric motor it could be very fast indeed. I was quite shocked to see how quickly they do get up to speed. For this heavy car I suspect it has electric motors at each wheel. With battery technology still not sufficient enough though, my guess it that it runs maybe 20 minutes top before needing a recharge,

In other words, nothing more than an expensive toy for the rich.
