Barry:

After thinking about your idea and the difficulty of the alterations, I 
think it might be easier to shorten the drive shaft and add a gear and 
tooth locking mechanism on the differential that could be blocked with a 
solenoid during operation.

I too would like to hear more about this electric Alpine. Do we have a 
competitor for the Ariel Atom conversion, or theTango? Please let us know!
