Q

Electric vehicles have huge batteries in them-can we use?

Since the fuse panel protects your car’s electrical systems from power surges and spikes, using a larger battery can cause current fluctuations. And this can damage the regulator on the alternator which then increases the chances of the stereo system, and other electronics getting damaged.
