Did ChatGPT also advise you how to get 20 different, well-off, well-dressed young people to get behind your unhoused idea to play and charge gaming laptops? Cause those people look opposite of the 'unhoused.'

I still like my idea better. Upgraded you to a bus because the van would be cramped.

I tried asking ChatGPT a few times but it basically kept saying no vendor sells electric vans without the battery.

Odds are if you found one, the battery would not be the only thing that's been removed, but the motors themselves are still valuable. I figured if a functioning used electric van can be had for $22k, you could maybe find one that's only had the battery removed under just the right circumstances or by special arrangement, $10k might be a reasonable guess at what it would go for. Could be higher. Call around your local auto scrap yards.

Some people on reddit was saying leaving the car on idle for long periods of time damages the car and ChatGPT confirmed this.

So I'm having doubts I could just get a powerful alternator or dual alternators.

Diesel engines are good for this.
