It is an almost impossible task.............

Piece of cake. 70 kW motor from one of them hybrid cars and a 70 kWH
battery pack from Altairnano. Power controller attached to the throttle,
bung that in a 600 rolling chassis, plug in a BFO Optimate and you're
rockin'. 90 odd BHP and it'll run a lap easy.

Battery pack's about USD 70 grand though.......

Also, as in *all* these so called green solutions, we'll comfortably ignore
the generating of the 'leccy, and getting rid of the horribly poisonous
batteries once they're stuffed!
