Maybe they should just build the engine directly into the cars, skip the electric drive system and avoid all that utterly pointless conversion loss?

Right. Then sit there like a mope for 6 hours waiting for it to charge. This fool could have walked his dumb ass home quicker

That doesn’t look like any diesel generator, just a charger hooked up to an inverter drawing power from the van’s cigarette lighter power access. Quite a Rube Goldberg.

Hard to believe they can draw sufficient current through a cigarette lighter to charge a car … but, perhaps only enough charge to get a ‘real’ charger?

I often wonder how many of the Green crowd flunked remedial arithmetic?

Maybe it should be mandatory to put high powered solar panels on top and on the sides of these electric cars as a back-up power source. Also a large cage of squirrels running on hamster wheels turning an electric turbine smartly stashed in the trunk for PLAN B. Yeah….that’s what these Greenies need. 🙂

In an episode of Two and a Half Men, Charlie’s mom borrows his Mercedes, and leaves him her electric car to use. As she is leaving, she tells him “if you run out of power, there’s a kite in the trunk.”

The best part is it’s probably a VW diesel capable of using filtered cooking oil or peanut oil the original diesel was designed to operate on peanut oil. Yes a bio- fuel come on all you save the planet NAZI’s now what ?

If the future is stupid then,
we’re living in the future now.

That thing on the trailer is a battery. It ain’t for jump starts either.
Just another method of putting those pesky little e-lectrons into a different
storage de-vice. Like this one:

Kinna like chargin’ your ‘mobile’ with a car battery.
Or, as I’ve heard ’em called ‘yourn bat-rie’.

Maybe the environmentalist with the electric sedan should install a trailer hitch and pull around one of those portable diesel generators, you know, just in case.

This is the plan, they want to get folks used to being helpless, by forcing you to buy stupid vehicles.

next will be a fatwa that says you must have ezpass to drive anywhere,
then, ezpass will be integrated into your car.

then, should you have missed an insurance payment, or a not paid a ticket, or missed an alimony payment, your car will simply stop working, until you have swiped a credit card (they will have card readers inside the car).

you think I am kidding, don’t you.

just think about how unfunded all states and cities are, and try to imagine where they will get the $$ from.
