		<description>Heya there, Jean!

Question for you.  I am aware of battery power being a HUGE issue for electric cars, and I have been made to believe that this is what is holding electric-powered autos back from taking their place in the auto market.  Specifically, the amount of space needed to accommodate the kind of battery would be like equivalent to the back seat. 

Have you looked into specific voltage &amp; current requirements of the power source and the kind of battery that would be necessary to deliver it?  I could make a suggestion that NiMH rechargeable batteries would be a possibility.  They have a steady voltage output until they reach a critical point, at which they decay rapidly (i.e. what happens when normal car batteries die). NiMH batteries also have a good energy density (high energy in smaller amount of space).  

Just some things to think about...

By the way, you should be and ENGINEER!! You&#039;re crazy!
