[Electric Boats] Re: 300 mile range at 60mph plugin

 

I'm skeptical too. My guess it's a "plug-in" HYBRID, maybe like the Chevy Volt, and will go as far as the GAS TANK will allow. If it were an EV I'd think the ad would have said so. It could be done with electric, but at what cost??? 100kwh of lithium battery is going to be expensive, and any other type would probably be too heavy for an automobile.
