There are countries where the internal combustion engine is now outlawed for new vehicles. Still ok for Grandfathered (older) as I understand (Older means either 2017 or 2016 and older model years)
Some states here in the US are eying such legislation.. though only a couple of them at this time.. Not sure teh status but restrictions on emmissions in say CA are getting to the point where EV's are the only way to go.
So I think business will pick up at that re-charge station.
Here in SC. one BUS company is now has an all electric fleet at least on some routes... But then Clemson (Area transit) University beat Ohio Satat a few years back :) (I'm from Michigan).
So it's a college town.. OH, and you ride for FREE believe it or not. The city has done the math and decided they save money by giving free rides. How's that for NICE!!!!!. (I've seen the math, it works).
I'd not mind a Tesla as a towed. but I've got to get 'em to build one for 4-down towing. I **THINK** I know what they need to do.. but of course without sitting down with a design engineer and a lawyer (They are gonna want a contract) I can not be sure.
Well if you can figure it out a lot of people would like to know. We get emails and inquiries all the time on how we tow our EV behind our motorhome...and of course the answer is not what they want to hear...on a trailer. We would also like to be able to tow four down although we would lose the ability to back up which we kinda like. We will stay with this setup for now but will be watching for alternatives. We love the little car and the top down life of the convertible is almost as good as a motorcyle but there are times we wish we could tow the Leaf as well. Oh well. First world problems right. :)
