Smkettner is very tuned in to the energy density capabilities of batteries, if you'll check out his posts in tech issues. I'm certainly aware of their limitations. We're not going to be pushing a big rig down the open highway on battery power anytime soon. Or a typical motorhome used as motorhomes are.
But this little exercise does show how far things have come with batteries over the years. Pulling a small travel trailer over 100 miles on batteries..that's pretty cool. The Tesla with over 200 mile range unhooked is useful for a lot of transportation purposes. These are viable automobiles.
Those of us who think this little exercise is a good thing are very likely as knowledgeable of battery limitations as anyone. I'm looking at it as testament to how far we've come. Like many others here, I don't have electric vehicle. It doesn't suit my purpose. But does everything out there have to fit in our own worlds?
