No, it was some kind of conversion, but I don't recall what.  Probably a 
Fiat or Toyota or Datsun or similar small car, in that era.  The guy was 
homebrewing it, making what we call a "rolling science fair project."  

I wish I remembered more of the details, but I suppose they don't really 
matter.  The point is, you need more than one way to turn an EV off.  And 
I 
don't mean seat switch and brake switch, I mean redundant contactors 
and/or 
switches in series, operated by different means.

To understand the Republican party (or the Democratic party, 
for that matter), it is most efficient to look directly at the clients - 
or as political scientist Thomas Ferguson would call them, the 
"major investors." On that level, the ideological contradictions are 
unimportant. Political parties do function as mediating institutions,
only not for voters.
