Besides that, the motor doesn't weigh very much. You'd be much better off buying a set of junkyard batteries from a Insight that had been clobbered in a wreck. I wonder if the HCH and Insight use the same batteries? If so, you could scavenge one of those packs (since the HCH is a more commonly sold vehicle)
