I wonder how many hours they got out of 1 charge?
How long do you reckon it would take to fully charge all of those batteries???
They must have weighed 5-6 hundred kilos...

it wold be good to see it done with updated tecnology . lithum ion batterys and a regenerative motor would make a big improvement in range solar panel on the roof and if you drove it once a week like i do it would be free !!  ;D unfortunatly the batterys cost to much   >:(
