We picked up and paid for the batteries and controller. We then placed the batteries in the car to sort of mock the weight distribution when they are mounted. The poor Corolla's suspension will indeed support the batteries.

Batteries
So, today after a period of relative inactivity, we paid for and brought home the batteries and the motor controller. By far the most expensive part of the build, the battery pack consists of 8 unpleasant to move 6 volt lead acid deep cycle batteries. Three will be mounted under the hood on the front chassis cross-member and the other 5 will be mounted in the trunk. The videos chronicling this exciting day will soon be posted.
