    REV vs Ramcharger - who would buy a REV?

    From the IRS website... In addition, the vehicle's manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) can't exceed: $80,000 for vans, sport utility vehicles and pickup trucks Also, how much does one need to make (annual income) to be able to afford payments on a truck costing $100K or more? That may...

    REV vs Ramcharger - who would buy a REV?

    Based upon the fuel tank and expected range from it, when running from the generator fuel economy is probably no better than a Hurricane based 1500. So the question I am looking at is the extra cost for the electric side justified over the life of the vehicle. This is where looking at the...

    REV vs Ramcharger - who would buy a REV?

    Interested in the RamCharger but disillusioned as well. When doing simple math dividing Battery mileage by Battery capacity, the RamCharger is quite a bit less efficient than the REV. It's electrical power consumption is more aligned with a Hummer than a REV or even a Silverado. I hope the...
