[MR2] Vague thoughts on an electric MkI

[Racing Strong Motorsports]

I look at this as a progression to something better. Sometimes it is
the backyard tinkerers that make the biggest advances. Learning how to
make an electric MR2 may lead to some alternative way of doing things.
Or maybe lead you to develop something that takes you off the grid to
recharge it.
