“++++Will the thing actually go that far without a recharge?+++”

Now they need to raise electricity costs. Hey “green goers” how many “green house” gases will be made because of the high demand to recharge a HUGE battery? What happens on a road trip that’s 1000 miles?

Sounds nice, but a decrease in a demand for one thing leads to an increase in demand for another.Think of the loss of jobs in the petrochemical industry....oh my, who will pay all those union dues!? I guess we’ll be getting our electricity from the Arabs as well?

Right. Power is power, and it has to come from somewhere. If it doesn’t come from fossil fuels, it’ll come from the generation of electricity, which in itself takes power to make.

Energy isn’t free, no matter how pretty it’s packaged. Too bad so many people can’t comprehend that simple fact.

The small engine is used only to generate electricity for battery charging. when you are away from home or parked at a restaurant for lunch, in order to recharge the battery and get 250mpg you have to leave to engine running while parked.
In that case you get 0mpg, how do we calculate the average millage then ?
