The problem, at least the way I see it, is "committing ALL government vehicles to electrical power" is doomed to fail. The first time an ambulance "dims on an emergency run" or the first time the President's car "craps in front of Buckingham Palace" or the first time a HUMVEE has to call a "time out in Afghanistan (or our next area of interest) expecting the enemy to wait patiently while we recharge"...... Well, what's good for us likely won't be "good for everyone"....

I can't imagine "resting in a rest area" for 2 or 3 hours before I can finish my trip from Gaylord to Detroit.....

We shall see just how long those extension cords can really stretch.....
