    Some years back GM hired a guy from the west coast to coordinate (?) their EV program. He left after a while, apparently tired of GMs approach (odd, that!). He went back to Cali and converted a Honda del Sol to electric his way. To increase the range he connected a motorcycle trailer with an IC engine. I don't recall if it was gas, diesel or maybe turbine. I always thought that a small, constant speed gas turbine would be ideal. Ran at constant speed they could be pretty efficient and low emissions. Cool build! Keep going!
