Unfortunately, it runs on 440 volts, and requires a really long, heavy-duty, extension cord to reach to your destination.

This is great! Now the Libs can scarf them up (because they’re electric) and then vandalize their *own* cars (out of an irrational hatred for Hummers).

This is full of win.

The offroad electric car, and your Honda generator.

This is way past stupid.

A Hummer that doesn’t spew gobs of CO2 is no fun to drive. “Electric Hummer” ?? What an insult.

Electric vehicles are not nearly as fuel-efficient as thought when you calculate efficiency properly, fuel to miles.

While the motors themselves are nearly 100% efficient, there are numerous energy losses at generation, transmission and recharging.
