“Since the range is only an estimated 62 miles it works for us.”

That’s when it is above freezing. Below the freezing mark your range is cut in half so make it 31 winter miles. Then throw in the defroster and heating the interior of the car and you might get 20 miles.

And when you finally get to the point of having to replace the battery that’ll cost you between $3,000 and $5,000. Hope you don’t mind that too much.

Be sure you know where the battery cutoff switch is located in case you get into a wreck. Wouldn’t want to get a nasty shock trying get get out of it.

Something also to think about is how quiet your car is compared to those with combustion engines. They become more of hazard to the blind when they are trying to cross the road or to others when you are backing up. Might want to install some car tones for it.

When you go to recharge your car it’ll take a while. At 220-/240 volts it’ll take about 8 hours compared to just a few minutes for refueling combustion engines. If your charger is only on 110/120 volts it’ll take a about 20 hours. But if you don’t travel that much and you aren’t in a big hurry your car is the way to go. The external ambient temperature your car is at will also affect charging time. In the winter time it will take a bit longer.

Gotta love those coal-powered electric cars!
