"do we think recharging the battery with an engine is a good idea?"

For those of us that commute anywhere near the stated range, this is a must. The stated range is under ideal conditions with new batteries. Add some snow to the road on three year old batteries and you probably won't make it home.

"How many folks will actually plug it in if you allow that?"

All of them that have ever ran their house on a gas generator when the power is out. The cost of gas generated electricity is prohibitive compared to the grid.

I still want one of these so bad I can taste it.
