Good idea... less hacking than going watercooled. Then just tow a small DC diesel generator behind!

to tell the truth, i have always wanted to build an electric VW, but the battery's is still a NoNo.
Set tappet's every 5000 km is one thing, and OK, but having to do the same with battery's, no thanks will give it a miss.
