Can an admin please remove RC's post. He is sowing dissension and unhappiness in our household by calling into question the carrot that I'm putting out for Theresa if she waits five years to get a van.
>>Bollinger
That may be the first car I've ever really coveted, which surprises me. But I really like that vehicle.
Rule of thumb - solar panels can generate 1Kwh in 5 hours of full sun. So if you could get a 4 m^2 solar panel to sit on the roof, that would be 4Kwh per day. So at then end of a 5-day backpacking trip, you would come back to a vehicle with 20Kwh hours of new charge. The Bollinger gets 2 miles per Kwh... so you could drive 40 miles based on that (not on forest service roads, but on paved roads anyway especially since unlike gas cars, electric cars should have their highest efficiencies at lower speeds).
