That’s beautiful. Simple, obvious, yet unexploited to this point.

With enough features, and the price dropping, I could see myself in one of those things.

Now they need a fold out solar panel that can be used instead of gas from the car. Why not go all the way?

They are embarrassing to drive, but they really are good cars. My friend has one and if I could just get over the whacky liberal reputation of the car I would get one. I didn’t know the Prius had a “power” button that converts the car to internal combution only and gives it more power for acceleration.

Over the road truckers have been using a device called an inverter for decades . It plugs into the cigarette lighter & the more expensive ones $400.00 - $500.00 range beat the kW rating of this Prius gadget. Ham radio types homebrew a small one lung engine with a car alternator & battery/inverter to do the same thing for their radio stations . It provides the needed power & it sips gasoline . These options are a hell of a lot cheaper than a $40,000 car. Hell you can go to Sam’s club or Costco & get a contractor grade generator in the 3-4kW range for $400.00 - $500.00 .
