Hi Doug,
i hope my bad english is good enough, that you understand me 
I am a german driver from until the 19.04.2004 and have driven now over 21.000km with the Sam.
The batteries are altough the problem in all electric-cars.
I am drive with cheaply batteries from SSB ([www.ssb-battery-service.com]).
With the first set of batteries from SSB i had ~6.500 km driven. The actualy set of SSB batteries is now ~8.500km in the SAM.
The SSB batteries is not so good as the Hawker Genesis. The range with the Hawker is ~40-50km in the summer. The SSB has a range from ~30-40km in the summer.
Both batteries are lead batteries, only one SAM (from JPKessler here in the forum) are build actualy with a new battery technologie with a range ~140km.
But he (and we ) hope that he becomes the SAM with the new battery now.
But the best is the funny drive and i meat a lot of happy people they want speak over this car
So i hope i was a little help for you, but you can ask more when you want and my english is good enough to read this
Berny
