Re: It's a start...

Well, it's a start. Anything to be less dependent on crude oil will help. I wonder about the 126 mile range too. I'm sure that's not based on full occupancy (827 lbs) at night with the halogens a blazing, it's raining so the front and rear wipers are on, the front and rear heater is on high because there doesn't seem to be hot enough air coming out, now you turn on the heated seats and the CD's playing while you are trying to keep up with the posted speed limit while climbing the steep grade. Come on you rolling buzz box the recharge station is just over the hill. And what do you do while you're waiting 6.5 hours for a recharge at one of the convenient stations? I know this is all new but they need some recharge stations between San Francisco and Los Angles. The way it is now you can't make the trip. All and all it looks great for the soccer mom types and local drivers.
Give it time, it will grow or glow.

Thanks Tom,
