Anyone catch the range on this thing?

ITs a whopping 40 miles !

I dont know how the whole generator thing works but I dont belive it is like a hybrid where it 'switches' to internal combustion engine.

40 miles... That would get me to work and halfway home.

Wonder how long you have to charge to get that 40 miles.

Oh and another thing. I have this same concearn with hybrids. If god forbid you get in an accident in this thing and somehow short out the batterys it could cause a rather large explosion with extremly toxic smome.

Then what do we do with the heavy metals once the batterys will no longer hold a charge?
