[QUOTE="DriverNerd, post: 3798351, member: 61439"] Unfortunately no. Because of the immense weight of batteries they have to (usually) be spread out low in the body. Most manufacturers choose beneath the floor in between the wheels to lower the center of gravity and help with handling. Just placing those batteries with the motor(s) in place of the engine would add a huge amount of weight in front making the vehicle unsafe to drive. Car manufacturers have tried the existing platform experiments for electric cars, just to determine it's cheaper and safer to just make a new vehicle from scratch. [/QUOTE]
