   "mooch" – a great word… but "pilfer" would have been my choice 🙂

   Get an inverter and plug it into its own battery.

   Or make a coil and park it under some power lines. I read that a guy was criminally charged for powering his home by induction, so there must be power to be had.

   …and annoy your friends as you trip a circuit breaker and interrupt the communal football game watching by pulling 40+ Amperes of current (^^;

   I’m feelin’ ya on you feeling like concept cars are one huge tease. I’ve drooled (sometimes literally) over many a sleek line and alloy wheel… Only to find that short of pulling off some highly criminal activity, she would never be mine.

   It’s ok. The steering was already too loose and her looks would deteriorate in no time. ; )

   I believe there are real plans to put the Volt into production.

   Never ever forget this is from the people who made the EV1 then chushed all of them so no one could have one, GM also bought up the battery tech that made the EV1 work then sold it to Teaxaco who in turn were bought up six days later by Chevron, Chevron then sued Toyota who were having great sucess with their Rav4 EV which used the same type NiMH.

   You could have a car that would do highway speeds and 150 mile on a single charge if Chevron were not sitting on the tech.

   BTW, I forgot to mention that GM was at the forefront of the group that forced CARB to drop the law that made zero emission cars a reality.
