Asking Slashdot: Converting an SUV Into an Hybrid Diesel-Electric?

joaommp writes "So, my team has started a project to convert an SUV into an hybrid diesel-electric vehicle — basically, an electric vehicle with a diesel engine working as a range extender. We've now setup a campaign on Indiegogo to help with the project costs (we are a non-profit team) and later we'd like to, if the project is successful, be able to provide conversion kits and additional kits for elements of the transformation, like the HUD, for example. Why an SUV conversion? Because a lot of people like SUVs (sense of safety, overcompensation, etc) but they're un-economic and environment unfriendly. I'd like to ask all slashdotters if they have any advice or tips for this project. We already have the project well defined but more input is greatly appreciated before we begin tearing apart the beast. So, if you could help providing additional advice and information, it would be awesome."

God, you corporate shills just won't give it a rest. Don't you understand you're destroying the forum you're trying to power? Years ago, you kept clamoring that "Peak Strawman" was a myth! Now you're all hyped on AC power, which every reputable study has shown to be highly toxic. Tell me, while you're focusing so hard on your Sarcasm levels, what monitors do you have to prevent Ego leaks? None! The signs of Ego blowouts are everywhere around your refineries, and yet you do nothing. You disgust me.
