the big advantage of electric vehicles is that they save gasoline

Nonsense.


although i think any only electric vehiicle should be designed to
hitch on a trailer generator in case someone needs to take a really
long trip. generator trailers could be sold or rented for occasional
use


That's the *dumbest* idea you've ever come up with. *...and that takes
some doing!


how so? it makes the all electric vehicle typically used for around
town easy to plug into a tiny trailer for long term trips. owner could
buy trailer or rent it for occasional use..

and since very little electric is generated by burning crude oil,
around here its nuclear, coal and natural gas.

anything that uses less crude oil / gasoline is less $$ given to the

Does it really matter if instead of US dollars going into the pockets
of arabs, it's chinese or europen dollars? They still are going to
sell all the oil they produce and wind up with about the same amount
of
revenue.
