I don't know too much about wheel chairs, but electric cars are certainly
not 12-volt systems.  If her system were even 24-volts (2 car batteries
in series maybe) this whole idea goes out the window and replaced with a
lot of complication.  Well, a DC-to-DC converter at the least so she could
get a jump start...  :-)
