I'm not sure yet. They are still going through the sheet metal phase of building it.

Hi Larry:

___I will not bother you much :D until after the show then :)

___If they have a camera on the dash and it goes into Charge Sustaining mode, look for an instantaneous or averaging display while they accel and decel for possibly a hint as to its ICE-On FE capability.

___Good Luck

Will do. So far at 35 min into it, they still haven't shown much of it on the road.

They were pretty sneaky. They didn't do the road test until the last 3 minutes. They showed the transition from pack to ICE while moving then cut away.:(
