BTW MB's might be okay but don't get me started on Bosch so-called electronics.

You would like my MB. It has no need of electronics other than the ignition key.

Your post gives the impression you don't like electric cars... If I had one and was stretching the range I might carry a small generator too, at least the guy is trying and was prepared.

Its not that he parked on the shoulder. Its that he parked on the shoulder on the wrong side of the road and that to get back on the road he has to back out into traffic that is coming over a blind hill on a highway. The fact that he could have pulled over off the road on the right side of the road just 500 yards back shows that this idiot cares far more about going 500 more yards on one charge than he cares for his own safety or anybody else's safety.
Also I would like to point out that this is no small generator he is lugging around with him. It is about 3 ft wide and more than 2 ft tall. It also has about a 5 gallon tank on it. The car he is driving has no trunk so this 5 gallons of gas vents into the passenger compartment and will spill there if it is ruptured in an accident.
Usually people who use this size of generator are a construction contractor. This guy has bought this generator to try and create his own half ass hybrid. If you want to haul excess weight of an electrical cars batteries and a generator fine. Please don't park in an unsafe location to recharge especially if a safe place presents itself just a little ways before your batteries expire however. This guy is a menace and deserves to be ridiculed.
