I have to apologize.
My revulsion to electrics was well earned.
TWA had more than a few electric aircraft tugs and bag cart tugs at the STL hub.
They had poor throttle control, took 7 hrs of charge for every 1 hr of use, puked huge amounts of carbon dust from the motor brushes, and the smell of a bank of overcharged lead/acid bats is one of the few smells that will make me puke.
Seriously. I'll sooner duct-tape a roadkilled possum to my face than smell that.
On the other hand, a ride in a well-executed conversion might temper the above slightly.
But, I have my reasons.
Sorry again for the original post.
