The altitude question came up while I was developing the proposal to put 120v EV Outlets at Appalachian Trailheads in Maryland During an 8 hour day hike, a car plugged into 120v can gain about 36 miles for the trip home, PLUS the altitude potential energy gained. So, for a 2000' trailhead, then the car can count on an additional 12 free miles for the trip home. See http://aprs.org/EVs-and-AT.html
If we can pull this off, imagine the PR potential of promoting EVs and Clean energy! The trail is only 40 miles across Maryland and I think we have found 8 trailheads with power..
