Thanks for the information. Honestly, I’d be willing to wait a couple hours for the genny to get me out! When are they going to make a small electric pickup?

I'd be all over that! Something the size of the old Toyota Tacoma before they got bloated.

God, bloated is such a perfect way to describe car shapes these days! I miss more angular shapes on vehicles. Every car nowadays looks like it could be posted on the @roundboys Instagram.

The photo makes me believe he is stuck in the snow. I bet he has charge still.

The extra weight of the generator in your car would decrease your range which somewhat defeats the purpose

I’ve got a generator that weighs less than 50 pounds. How much would that affect range?

It wouldn’t, that amount of weight is negligible for range impact on most every EV with the exception of the shitty cheap first gen ones (looking at you Nissan leaf).

Not significantly. It's air resistance and wheel friction that matters with EV's.

Is that the ford lightning? There’s a new coming Rivian that makes a pick up too
