Pitt, thanks, I agree. Personally, I'm motivated by the eco benefits of electric and am trying to do this whole thing ICE-less, too. I'm still shopping for solar panels and still haven't got regen to work on my boat, but ICE-less really is the holy grail that I'm searching for. It's really sad how the oil industry has us all addicted to their drug and I'm doing my best to kick the habit, cold turkey. It's hard, but worth it, in my opinion. I really believe that certain issues that we know EP has (range of the batteries) can and will be worked out.

Is it because the technology makes the best sense, for certain applications, ...or... are we trying to take a bite out of BP (i.e. the oil industry)?
