Like most of the article...savings of $100,000/year :S Even at my gas guzzling 7 MPG ($0.50/mile) that’s 200,000 miles a year or 555 miles/day. Appears to be 6.5’ by maybe 20’...130 sq ft. Good luck getting my wife or me into something that small.

In Europe where the distances are much less (doubt the 500 mile range) and they are used to MHs that small...maybe but their CGs do not have the amps needed to recharge very many rigs. Add in their much higher electric rates???? Were do people think the power is coming from to recharge at night... solar???? 3% of the worlds energy comes from solar and wind. :S

There is a plus side to recharging at night as it’s hard to throttle down a power plant and why in many places electricity is cheaper after midnight.

Ya, I think they are using the OTR trucks for their numbers savings. The average RV’er only drives about 5-15k miles a year. So electric will make no practical sense for those of us that travel only for vacations and weekends.
