I have this crazy idea that I wanted to throw out for discussion:
What about taking the drive train of a wrecked LEAF and fitting it in place of the rear wheels? You would have a car with just a little more weight, but twice the power. It seems like we would have to develop a CAN-bus gateway that listened to the front-wheel's CAN traffic and passed it to the rear-wheel's CAN bus, so that the "throttle" position would be transmitted to both front and rear inverters. That way they would work together accelerating or decelerating.
Sure the battery would last half as long, but it would be twice as fast...
What do you think?
