What they need is to show the miles per kWh as well as the kWh of the generator. That would give us a more acurate representation of the cost to opperate this car.
I had overlooked your idea of listing the KWH of the gasoline generator! Yes, that sure would help us figure up the math if we had all of that information. I don't think I have read anywhere about how much electricity the gasoline engine charges the battery at, not yet anyway.

Also, I would like to know THE SIZE OF THE CAR! Some say it's a full size sedan, some say it will be based on parts from The Cruise in the Lordstown Ohio Plant known now for making The Cobalt and other SUB-COMPACTS in the past.
