A friend Pat VA3PAF brought his Mitsubishi Highlander plugin hybrid EV 
to FD 2018. Ran at least 2 of our stations and some of the lighting etc, 
for the entire first day and overnight, off battery (pre-charged at his 
home), before the engine/generator kicked in mid-morning on the Sunday 
to top itself back up a bit.

"After Converting 31 Km of available Range into 17 Hrs of Electrical 
Power for the HAM Station; the Outlander's Generator finally STARTS; 
tapping into the 517km of Onboard Gas for even more Power. As a rough 
estimate, at this rate of use could last for over 10 days !!!!"

He's also provided communications all day for a local Marathon, 
including (if I recall) cross-band repeating his handi back to the 
marathon HQ, and I believe digipeating. Makes a fantastic mobile ham 
radio PSU!
