You might bring a thermodynamics book to read along the way, so you can figure out where you went wrong.

Well, why don't you just tell me where is it you think I went wrong? I'm an engineer, too, always willing to learn.

"Well, why don't you just tell me where is it you think I went wrong? I'm an engineer, too, always willing to learn."

Here's a fun statistic that makes the point: the equivalent energy of 15 gallons of gas is about 550 kWh.

Standard electrical plugs provide 120volts at 15 amps, or 1.8kWh

So it would take 12.7 days to recharge a vehicle that was equivalent to todays vehicle with a standard electrical outlet.

hey! You are the one who said I misapplied thermo......teach me, I'm willing to learn, too.
