The kits do exist. But I think they are pretty awful. Like maybe less than 100 miles. Our car is incredibly heavy so it might get even less. Once we get stupid good range and the price comes down.

Then we are talking. But will the world actually allow us to wean ourselves of fossil fuels. Every car company and conglomerate doesn't want the poor to get access to cheap transportation.

So it's kinda scary
