Legality of my project, converting truck over to electric.

Recycle the sheet.

Convert it to methane.

 

If the truck is old enough,register as historic,collectors insurance,put that little "not for hire" label on the fender and your in.As far as electrics go, can't help,I'm a diesel man,myself.

 

I think it's safe to assume that a side benefit of hydraulic hybrid tech is a large generation of BS.

The only way to see a significant increase in fuel economy with hybrids requires a lot of start/stop operation to recapture braking energy. Or very rolling terrain where recapture would replace the jake. Out on the highway, hydrids are just low powered vehicles.

 

Hmmm take a international lone star, extend the hood. Put a Herman Nelson generator in there to turn the tranny. Then a Chevy v8 to power and charge the generator. Now you got a real train truck. Looooooong asp hood though. Lol
