Default Uncle Fuzzies take on Self Launchers

Robert, FWIW, the price I paid for my FES retrofit was about the same as a conventional turbo would have cost. For that I got more convenience but less range.

I don’t know current prices.

It needs some sort of step change in battery technology to improve FES range significantly. Maybe the fuel cell/hybrid will get there first, at a cost..
