Most kids carry a 5V 2A+ usb battery. If only it had a 12v port it might be enough to get the car to fire with a push. How many amps does a 'dead' ICEv need to power up? 5V to 12v boost converters are pretty cheap. They would only need to run for a few minutes. It would be funnier to strap a 100w+ PV panel onto the hood jumpered in, then push start.
