Notice the small solar panel on the roof.
The bulk of the solar recharging current comes from the 5.2 kiloWatt panel on
the school's roof.
Putting the batteries under the bench seats makes lots of sense.
The weight is closer to the center of gravity of the vehicle,
and yet getting to and working on the batteries is simple.
Here is the extra battery box, with its two extra batteries and a secret
feminine touch.
This too is easy to get at.
The co-conspirators.
