First year a small single cyl genny to charge battery.
As always happens, people want more power.....
Third year a 2 cyl is introduced.....
Year 5....a 4 cyl genny is introduced.....
Year 7.....turbo is added and a 6 cyl is an option.....
Year 9....a quadrupple turbo V-8 is introduced........and people are wondering why the battery is still needed......
Year 10......EV's are discontinued in favor of V-8. V-10 and V-12 IC engines..........

Ed, the Art Arfons of the automotive world lol. I referenced Arfons because in the 80s truck and tractor pulling competitions, everybody else was using conventional automotive engines on their modified tractors, not Arfons. He had jet engines.😁😆
