Re: possible EV seen

I have a friend that goes to another school in my area and he said one car 
there had 16 batteries to run the hydrolics. With that many batteries you 
could run the car itself. It's an egolistical thing. If it was a low rider it 
probably was for hydor's only.

 show about then and seeing a mess of batteries in the truck of one of these
 things ('69 chev Impala I think)to run the hydraulics etc...
