OK, I'll take a stab at the obvious snide remark: It's really not so surprising you know, all you need is a flux capacitor. I wonder if anyone has tried to tell Mr. Tilley that Christopher Lloyd's character in "Back to the Future" was a joke. If he could actually drive hundreds of miles on off-the-shelf batteries and still have them fully charged at the end, I would think re-writing the laws of physics would command a bit more attention than making a neat EV. Maybe Bruce Meland could attend the "validation" run at Nashville Speedway on 9/7 and give us a report? Seems right up his alley. Chris
