<VV> Electric Power for Corvairs?

[Bob & Kathy Gilbert]

I briefly checked and both the early and the late electric Vairs made by GM
were powered by zinc based batteries and, by today's standards relatively
inefficient motor/controller combinations.

BTW, before anybody brings up the obvious battery limitations, I'm seeing
this a secondary vehicle that would get occasional use doing round trips of
20 miles or less per day on secondary roads so a 200 mile range or high
performance are not issues in my case. But mostly, it has the potential of
being an interesting project.

At last a REAL subject!  I have only heard of 2, I think.  One is the 
electric rampy the other I have in my brain as being a concept car from GM.
Maybe 
some one could jump in and confirm this.

The concept car you are speaking of is the "Electrovair". A LM four door
that 
was (is) LOADED with batteries!
 
When you visit the Heritage Center this summer while at the Convention you 
will have the opportunity to view the very car!
 
Somewhere there is a link to the Heritage Center but I have forgotten where 
it is!
