DCB "Nobody has directly addressed the question of recharging the battery from the ice, which is the most inefficient use of gas." ... "I think an equally likely scenario is folks just forget it is a plugin"
Well that really sucks to be them, but the laws of economics are about as absolute as the laws of gravity. If someone wants to be stupid, as long as they aren't hurting my pocket book, let them. I don't shed a tear for my nephew in his souped up mustang, but I do feel sorry for the contractor in his F-250 work truck, one is doing it by choice and one by need. Just give me the tools that I need to live the way I choose at a price that I can afford. We can't all afford to live like Al Gore!
Weren't the submarines of WW2 diesel / electric? Do you think that they put to sea with dead batteries, planning on letting the diesels charge them, just because they had the capability to? Or do you think the skipper made sure that they were topped off from shore power to give him as much range as possible?
