Linc- I like it. I would lean toward the Sentra, also. Check out evparts.com. A 30kW motor/controller setup will run about $3000. You might have to upgrade to make 60mph. On batteries- Pb will be cheap, Li will be expensive. I would start with the Pb type. If it works well then sell them and put the money toward the Li batteries.

It's (conservatively) 200 miles per charge with the Roadster. I would think the sedan will have better mileage, if it isn't being made as powerful.
