    Where were you sourcing batteries in Canada? I have a cute little electric car from the 70s that I bought for very little, and installed a heavy, expensive, low capacity lead acid pack like it was originally designed for. Unfortunately this means the range is about 15 miles. I use it as a farm runabout but it can’t make it to town and back.

    It would be a great car if I could source some used Tesla modules or similar but they are very hard to find here at the prices you see in the USA! Nominal pack voltage is 72v, i.e. 6s 12v lead acid.
