    That is the best way to be both an environmentalist and a Skynard fan I have ever seen.

    At least he did it with an '81. I feel this is a worthy mod to all malaise cars, except crusher-bound Mustang II's...

    I'm glad it's in Canada, if I ever witnessed a Mino driving past making no noise I think my brain would explode and leak out my ears.

    It would just be creepy.

    This is a really classy execution of the electrification of a formerly IC engined car. No big "EV" stickers or banners proclaiming its greenness. Aside from the compromised approach and departure angles, this looks like a normal (read: totally ninja awesome) elco.
    So, if a slow looking fast car is a "Q Ship" or "Sleeper", what do we call this?

    Is it an "E Boat"? "Shocker"?

    If only GM would realize that we don't want a Chevy Prius. We want an el(ectric) Camino.

    I bet GM would sell the crap outta these things.

    Too bad the general only wants to make dishwashers and other household appliances nowadays...

    100 hp doesn’t seem like much, but you must realize that electric motors such as this develop loads of torque at 0 rpm unlike a internal combustion engine, unless you’re on the starter. This thing probably does pretty good at lower speed and then kind of fades as your speed increases.

    I would think some extra range could be had by putting a bunch of those trolling batteries in the bed.

    If I had an electrified Camino I sure wouldn’t go around advertising by putting "Electric" all over the place, seems like good way to get an ass kickin, when folks find out you’ve molested a national treasure.

    @SlowMo (actually, there's no E on my R): I was thinking the same sort of thing - El(Ectric) Camino, or an arrow pointing from the El to the ectric.
