not to change the subject on my own thread but I saw this recently and it made me laugh.

Obama Claims He's Visited 57 States

At a campaign event in Beaverton, OR, Obama claimed to have visited 57 U.S. states during the campaign.

I want 100 miles to a charge, 0-60 of 10 seconds or better, a solar panel on the roof, and a big enough generator on the hatch to run it continuously. It's a hybrid at that point. I plan to only use the generator when I forget to charge it, or on trips. I don't know how big of a generator I need yet. I still have research to do. But what if you get the biggest kit (it's for performance) available on that site I posted and then baby it. Your range should drastically improve.
