JRscooby- For a commuter car or around town they would be great. It would take to long to pay for a EV compared to the savings it would provide for me for a second vehicle. I have started replacing my yard equipment with electric as it wears out. My neighbor is doing likewise with a new electric zero turn mower.
Yes, this is true. But as production increases the price should drop. I don't think that everybody moving around in their own car is the best idea, but if a higher percentage where electric it would be better. As far as that goes, now that DW and I are retired I would love to trade one car for a street legal golf cart and hybrid bicycle. Without the camper, both vehicles could go. When figure how much I spend on maintenance, when I need to leave town rent a car. One of my fears is DW decide she wants to go to a quilt shop half way across the state, and her little car takes a dump. (If I know she is going, "take the pickup") The rental lays down, getting her home might be a problem, but the car is not.
