The Problem: traditional EVs have a limited range, usually 100 miles or less, requiring extensive highway and city infrastructure to support longer trips. The Solution: Integrate another fuel source to supplement and extend the range of the EV. The Caveat: The need for additional infrastructure for the supplemental fuel source.

This is no easy question to answer in common sense terms. Many program owners would argue that their training programs will allow you to make far in excess of $5000, so they're program is worth every penny you pay for it. I suppose that's a fairly logical answer, though I find it a bit confusing. In the real world, (to which the Internet bears no resemblance) programs and produce are priced according to the amount of labor, raw materials, and marketing expenses associated with the program.
