Best place for a heavy battery is low for center of gravity. Under the floor would be a good place. Adding the weight down there would improve handling in the corners, especially at speed. The single rear tire is a concern but could probably be addressed with stronger suspension and a tire rated for the weight.my wife and I attended several Elio shows and sat inside an Elio at each of them ..... the only area I can see where they can mount a significant number of batteries is the trunk .... doing so will add considerable weight to that already on the single rear tire .... having a strong (heavy) battery pack isn't a problem if extended distance between charging, if the cruising speed doesn't matter, if running accessories like AC/heater isn't necessary .... if/when they produce an electric vehicle it will be interesting to see how they make it work
