How about starting a thread on the electric Smart Car. Are you able to charge it while trundling down the road?
A trailer that generated electricity via the trailer wheel hubs to plug a smart car into would be awesome. Would be a very cool mod.
Yah, I'm not sure that would work...or if it did it probably wouldn't be the most efficient way to do things.
Really though, the charging infrastructure here is so good that there always seems to be a level 2 charger close to where we shop....assuming you don't mind walking a few blocks. We still haven't paid to charge here (except at home). We use our RFID cards to unlock the charger and when we get back to the car and unhook, the charger always sends us an email saying how may kilowatt hours we took on and what the charge is...which is always zero. I think the shopping areas and malls must be sponsoring these things. Seems to work, we tend to shop in areas and eat at restaurants that have the chargers. Not sure it's intentional on our part but they seem to have us figured out.
