Nicola Tesla's car used a battery switching trick which makes the batteries self charging. Google "Tesla Switch", and positive results and replications are found on overunity website.

nicely made and still good even if its noisy, Hey these are not pros but still creative and can make the same for less.Makes you wonder eh?!Oh and speed is not important just need max 70 mph or 110kms/hr and a long driving time other than that who needs a Ticket? I wouldn't :) still nicely done

With 10 batteries it will going about 110 km/h (68mph).But if the car have enouph space it would be nice to put 20 batteries in the car,it might going about 220 km/h.

I think you need a smarter machinist, no welding is required, only a coupling and motor mount.
