Haven't all the rovers been electric and solar-powered anyway?

I know electric vehicles are all the rage nowadays but it just seems pointless.]]>Sep 20th 2009 4:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/nasas-desert-rats-field-tests-the-lunar-electric-rover-on-simul/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/nasas-desert-rats-field-tests-the-lunar-electric-rover-on-simul/
But you are right, it's silly, and probably only there for abbreviation reasons, but even then it's a poor excuse.
Also since it's so slow perhaps they should put that in the name instead, lunar electric stroller instead of rover, or lunar electric stroller system, 'LESS'.
