just the fact that i wouldn't have to smog it, makes this appealing, plus its still a rotary, right?

batteries not included

Not sure I'd EV convert mine, but would for a classic that isn't known for its engine.

Do the math on battery weight before pulling the trigger

Very cool. Always wondered if there’s a kit to make these a hybrid. I.e. electric motors in the front wheels and put the batteries in the storage bin area. Electrical is not my strong suit, but I would love to have something like that. Not that it pertains to this driveline, but this is still very cool.

remember that the next time a Tesla leaves your 30 yo combustion engine breathing EV ozone fumes as it grows ever smaller and smaller in your field of view …

The noise issues could be solved by a 400 watt amp, some horn drivers and and a 787B sound track.
