He goes on about reliability and sheer bulk, and agrees with redpoint5 (Dakota-size with 4-cylinder). Never mentions weight.
I don't know about the reliability, the electric half should be no problems. I'd want one Dodge Ramage sized. |
This guy really doesn't get it. It's nothing about zero emissions in this case. What it is is power leveling a simple gas v6 to give you the tow power of a 3/4 ton 5.9 Cummins. That also gives you probably a truck as quick as the old Viper powered SRT10 to boot. And then day to day it can plug in at home and be a full zero emission EV for commuting.
All of the things he whines about the range extender needing on the 3.6, would be needed on a smaller range extender or even a tiny Honda like generator. And a 2kW or even 5kW generator is useless compared to a 130-175kW generator. Has he priced a 5kW Honda generator lately? I bet the 3.6 isn't much if any more and we are talking 26 times the ability!
