extend range of electric

When I was teaching in Zambia back in the seventies, gasoline was the equivalent of $1.65 per liter - and diesel was less than half that. Untaxed diesel was less than 1/3 and nobody checked.

A white south african "redneck" had an old Morry Minor that he drove around town, but it was not well suited to taking the Great North Road up to Lusaka or the Copperbelt from Livingston. He had an old diesel Morris Lorry that he'd park the Minor on and drive IT up to Lusaka - at a lower cost than driving the Minor - then he'd do his "town driving" in the minor, load it back on the lorry, and drive back home.
