Electric Car worked till the cord broke

["White, Richard H." <White@courier3.aero.org>]

Yes Denise, the car did work.  80mph top speed with the top down, people 
constantly walking out in front of you in the parking lot (only hit two), and 
it even would make it to work before requiring charging (13 miles) it would 
die half way home if not charged at work.  1000 lbs of batteries is 
equivalent to only one gallon of gas.  Imagine your car with a one gallon gas 
tank and a gas pump that would only pump one gallon every 6 hours.  The car 
is now gone, a fun project, but not very practical.
