Mitch, I am considering an inverter for the car to charge the scooter.
Charger uses only abt 2 amps, though.
If your car has a 70 or 80 amp alternator, it could probably handle that
with a 300W inverter. With the old 45 amp alt, I'd only do it on long freeway
trips.

For 1.2A at 120VAc it's possible, you'd probably need 14g wiring and a 20A fuse

That's what I heard - just put the snow tires on the 300D 2.5. I
