Oh, excellent! Good to know there's at least one person out there aiming

I can't see why not. If you're making mostly short runs, have reliable
access to an alternate charging source (PV, plugging in, etc.), and just
want the genset to be the backup and/or the "last mile" reserve, that
seems like a perfectly reasonable assumption. There are a few other
scenarios where I can see it working as well.

If you and I are at all near each other, I'd be glad to lend you a hand

the NYC area these days.)
