Vehicle	1967 Volkswagen Type 1 engine on a Type III subframe Inspired by JB Straubel's college try, I'm refining the concept and intend to undertake long distance highway trips where the CHAdeMO don't shine.
Drivetrain	1600cc aircooled VW engine and swingaxle transaxle mounted on a Type 3 VW subframe. Remote control ignition switch and clutch actuator. Will start out with binary throttle control, (locked near WOT, speed modulation through the i-MiEV's strong regen and the pusher's ignition switch), may add aftermarket cruise control after initial testing.
Batteries	0.00 Volt,
Top Speed	81 MPH (130 KPH) limited by governor/rpm limits on the i- miev.
Range	limited only by the fuel tank selection
Tires	165R15
Conversion Time	a decade of dreaming, days of doing
Conversion Cost	under $200 thus far
