I often screech at these hair-brained pipe-dreams that get touted on these boards (remember the nuclear-reactor driven car?) and are never given a thorough going over with the Reality Stick.

( I am not sure the Smart is structurally sound enough to tow anything, but It seems like a reasonable option for maybe a Leaf). Instead of carrying the ice with the vehicle all the time (like the Volt) You hook it up only when taking longer trips. I would imagine the Volt’s range would double if it didn’t have to carry the ice engine, fuel tank, radiator and transmission with it all the time.
