Dan Baker,
What a nifty craft for a lake getaway. If I had made a boat such as yours, I am

The million mile battery?
Most folks when informed with CATL or Tesla saying they have a million mile
battery think its range miles are all on a single big charge.
Nope! even at a projected $80/kwh at full production, not so LOL.
Truth be told, range anxiety will still be the dread as it was
