250 miles per charge? How much gas you going to need to spend on the generator you have to tote around to charge the damn thing on a cross country trip?

It is an 80k two seater. In other words, it is even less functional than Rack Fu's 54k 2WD SUV. But you could easily make a cross country trip with it were you to mix in a long lunch at a truck stop every day.
A VERY long lunch.

A guy rolled into my old home town many years ago

developed an effective battery for an automobile. At least
Tucker actually made a few cars !

They named a highway after the CEO of Union Carbide during the Bophal disaster?
Is that anywhere near the Albert Speer State Park?
