   Nickel iron or lead acid battery - heavy for the range, but useable.   
   The old EV1 controller was pretty reliable and tuneable.   
   And old electric fork lifts are DIRT CHEAP today   
   On my old Fiat back in the late seventies I'd have KILLED for that   
   obsolete teck. I used contactors and resistors - anf gold cart   
   batteries and the generator from an old bomber as the motor. Made my   
   own adapter plate to the originalstandard trans and ran it without a   
   clutch.
