   Yes, some of those have a great range on a charge but you pay for   
   it one way or another..

   The Utility has stopped paying that much for power now. My sister   
   has a contract so her rates will stay but new people wanting to   
   do that will get only 30 cents per KWH instead of her 80 cents.   
      
   Buying power from them allowing for time of day costs from   
   about 10 cents per KWH at night up to 20 cents at peak.

   Yes, they have various sizes of those available here, some to sit   
   in the window of your car keeping the car battery topped up..
