I would buy electric if it made sense for me. I won’t cut my nose off to spite my face.
Good luck to you with the car.
You don’t have to be a “tree hugger” to be interested in electric cars or hybrid cars or solar energy.
If this electric car will work for your family and circumstances, that’s great.
If I lived 6 miles from work, I’d ride a bicycle. But I live 35 miles from work, so :-(
Conservatives don’t “hate” electric cars, they hate being forced to subsidize them for a lie.
They also have a general distaste for the smug and holier than thou attitudes of the kind of people who buy them thinking they are saving the planet
Well, good luck to your son in ‘collage’.
“Collage (from the French: coller, “to glue”;[1] French pronunciation: ​[kÉ”.laËÊ’]) is a technique of an art production, primarily used in the visual arts, where the artwork is made from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole.”
>>I had net ever heard about this car it’s known as a i miev.
Interesting car (had to look it up). It looks like the car that electric cars should be: nothing but transportation and not something that tries to challenge ICE cars at a stop light. Since it works for you, great choice!
“I’m as far as a tree hugger as you can get but we needed a vehicle.”
You didn’t buy a vehicle but a golf cart. However, it’s your money.
It appears to be a Coal Car.
Nothing wrong with that. I like all “fossil fuels.”
How people consume them is insignificant.
If it works out OK for you as a total purchase and use cost over the lifetime of the vehicle, great.
More importantly, as a conservative, what you do with the money you earn is entirely up to you.

$pm is more important than mpg.
I hope it works great for y’all.
I would enjoy reading about your experience with it.
Cheers and Happy Thanksgiving!
How much is it costing to keep it charged up?
Some day I might live in a retirement community where I can cruise to the golf course, post office and other amenities in an electric golf cart. But then, maybe I can figure a way to stuff a small block Chevy V8 in it. That ought to impress all the older good looking women.
Li Shufu, ceo of Geely (bought Volvo in 2010), the largest ice (internal combustion engine) car maker in China said that in 5 years ice car manufacturers will be dinosaurs and well on their way out.
and you’ll keep your Hummer
My commute is under two miles. I drive in comfort in a 15 year old Suburban. I top off the gas tank once a month whether I need to or not.
I can’t really consider an EV b/c I live in a condo so there are no home charging options. Nor work charging options either.
Until charging is no longer a consideration for those w/o a garage, EVs will never make it for everyone. Charging at work only works for you if you are there. Being away from the work charging facility, such as going on vacation, and you’re SOL there, too.
Good luck w/ your EV.
We’ve contemplated buying one for a short, daily, in-town commute. We may buy a Segway, instead, depending on which house we buy.
It doesn’t take a tree hugger to want to eliminate a dependency on gas to fill our vehicles.
Mitsubishi Electric Car.
You got it for a good price.
Nothing wrong with Electric Cars. As other Posters mentioned, the issue is the Government Subsidies. Why should the Taxpayer be paying the Down Payment for a Person who chooses to buy an Electric?
Makes no sense, but neither do Ethanol Subsidies.
A Chevy Volt may seem a grossly overpriced piece of chit at $36,000 , but you can honestly tell everyone you have a car that cost a quarter million dollars to produce. Ain’t government grand?
