Well with commercial electric rates and all the various things they do/spend on a daily basis that can be considered "cost of doing business" 50 cents worth of electricity is nothing to them. They probably spend 100X more than that on the daily crappy morning breakfast they offer in most hotels. (that nobody ever seems to eat), or just keeping the parking lot lit at night. 14kwh is a drop in the bucket compared to their operating costs.
You can't hook an alternator up to the axle. You need multiple wind powered alternators to get enough juice to run forever!!

Chrysler should put sails and kites on the Pacifica for when the powertrain suddenly stops. That would get their Pacifica PHEV quickly past to sales stoppage and impending recall. Ignore the fact that overhead wiring and bridges from overpasses might pose a slight problem.
I must have missed that one. What is the fiasco?
EPA says they're using improper defeat devices in software, FCA says they aren't, EPA won't certify the EcoDiesel for sale. Seems to me more like an issue of interpretation, totally unlike VW's outright fraud.
