This is why I like solid numbers all around, I'm not trying to put down the hybrid idea but I like honest information.

This is the whole point of putting the thing together.
When I read the article, I took it as meaning that the generator system was running continuously while the truck was in operation.
The system is designed around 36 to 48 volts ( so 3 or 4 12V batteries ).
I think you are looking at "battery only" operation and that's not how it works.
