A2 EV Conversion.

@Dalibu there was a thread here a wile ago from someone doing some weight saving on an A2. There are some "quick wins" like the battery (look at motorsport gel batteries like "varley red top") but its mainly a lot of marginal gains some of which are compromises on day to day use/comfort. I have a red top in my Elise, probably save 50% on the battery and is better re g-loads etc over Lead Acid, but thats a track car etc.

Thank you @carbore I didn't know about these. You're right probably marginal gains but one can dream!
