This was discussed in previous threads. It is a plug in hybrid.

1. You charge the thing when there is less electrical demand.

2. During rolling blackouts, you run the thing on gasoline, it's a hybrid.

3. If there are fleets of these things plugged into the grid, they could theoretically prevent rolling blackouts by feeding power back into the grid.

You can put your fate further into the hands of gov't, but I will not.

So I pay the asking price of a Suburban and get a little piece of crap that will get me killed if a snowball hits it? If I pack the trunk I can take three shirts or two shirts and a pop-tart?

Why in the absolute Sam Hell would I do that?

As somebody else said, "You first."

I'll add, "Second and third."
