[ausev] Toyota Landcruiser conversion

[charles winningham]

Hello all,

I am an aspiring electric car owner who has come into the opportunity
to purchase a 1983 Toyota Landcruiser for next to nothing.  I would
like to buy it and convert it to electric for the purpose of being a
commuter car but I have some concerns and I do not know exactly how
much it would cost to do a competent conversion of this particular
model.

My main concerns are 1) will it be able to keep up with the speed of
traffic on my commute? (does not include freeway driving but does
include a short stretch of driving on the access road to MOPAC) 2) how
much will it cost? (any range, however appoximate, would help)

Thank you all for making this community happen.  It's awesome to have
something that actually enables me to do something about how much I
hate driving a petroleum-fed car.
