Did I slip a decimal? 500 Wh / mile and 50 MPH (for easy numbers) is 2 miles per kWh is 25 kWh for an hour...or 25 kW. I guess I did slip a decimal...sorry! However, a pickup truck with, say, a 50 kW or even a 100 kW onboard generator (to add back the missing decimal) is going to be able to power much more than a small construction site and be that much more desirable to people who actually _use_ such vehicles. That, of course, is a rather different class of people from those who typically _buy_ them...it's a depressingly common irony to see impeccably-dressed people step out of immaculate huge trucks and SUVs and hand the keys to a valet at an expensive restaurant. b& -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
