This discussion of electric propulsion is interesting but as one who lives on a farm in an area with 4 seasons, I see little to no use for an electric vehicle, at least during the winter. The two things I would be interested in are: electric drive 4WD with a high efficiency diesel genset with batteries for surge power, and using wind energy to produce hydrogen as fuel. This could be produced and stored, which would eliminate the variable output of wind power generation. (and no carbon emissions).
