Electric Car @ MindSay

So you're looking at the Tesla Roadster and thinking damn I want one. well you can get something very close. check out the photo of the new EV coming from Chrysler. it's body is from a lotus Europa. so it looks pretty hot. 0-60 in 5 sec. 100-200 miles range...

I thought I'd share this finding for all you guys in CA suffering from pricey gas.

a 3 wheeled electric "car" good for over 100 miles per charge.(no gas) $27,000.
Wonder if they really will make this. I'm excited to see it.
Because this only has 3 wheel, it's classified as a motorcycle. Wonder if insuring it will be higer or lower then a standard car.

This was the scene in my house last night after my husband got home from work:

 

My husband: "Hi Honey!  Can you remind me to plug in the car after dinner? I brought home the EV."

 

Me: "Ok."

 

After dinner I'm washing dishes and hear, "Crash! Bang! Zappt...Boom! Zip. Slam!"  I walk toward the laundry room, and there's my hubbie with wires, wire strippers and cutters, voltage testers, and other electrical thingies that I'm clueless about.

 

"Um...what are you doing?" 

 

"Working on plugging in the car."

 

A few minutes later I see him go into the garage and he's plugging in the car with his contraption. 

 

"Is that thing going to explode?"

 

"God, I hope not."

 

See, when you live with an engineer you learn to accept things like this, calmly and without qualms.  It's part of the package deal.
