O boy !!!    20 miles before recharge .  1 trip to WallyWorld and back for me and I can just about see WallyWorld from my house then plug in all night to maybe get the batterys up. I guess the standard battery is a 12v lead/acid type in this kit.  Who can afford one of these lithiumn(?) ion  batterys ?
     Until someone can get about a 200 mile range @50mph from a electric car in town I think the idea is a total Turkey unless you want to haul a 2500 lb  trailer around cramed full of batterys.
     I think all you electric car Dudes need to go back in history to check out the Doble and Stanley steam cars  from the early 20th century. Their only problem was getting up pressure fast enough . This was corrected in the '60s buy a man named Keen  who had a steam gen. not a boiler, that could move the car in 5min.  He would put a steam power plant in a 60's Chevy Belair for $3000 but with gas selling for 19 cents a gallon and the Chevy costing about $2100, nobody was interested in putting in a power plant that cost more than the car.
      Don't forget a Stanley race car set a world speed record on Orman Beach Fla of about 197 MPH. then crashed. The year?  How about 1907
       The record stood for years.
      The standard off the show room floor Doble from the late 20's would go over a 100 MPH but Boy! they were expensive.

Shrimp ??    WOW !!    That would be a lot better than breathing H2so4.
    I use to steam up my own windows but alas that was a long time ago. :lol:  :lol:

VW had charcoal burning Beetles in WW-2.    I wonder how long it would take Exon to buy up the charcoal industry.    BP tried to corner the worlds propane industry just a few months ago and got caught.
     Don't forget about the freon engine . A/C in reverse. Works like a steam engine with a closed loop system. All you have to do to freon is warm it up. The expantion rate is very high. Invented in the USA in the '80 ,Declined by the Big Three and now owned by Izusu. A VW bus was the test bed . :roll:  :roll:
