The 1981 Mercury Linx Electrica is at Black Bay. This car was bought new, driven 1800 miles and was left to rot away. The owners were mad at the car because it was slow (only 72 volt system) and had a very limited range. The car has quite a bit of body rust but it can be repaired. The electric

Very smart idea for the name of the company. It isn't an American company, but most Americans will assume it is just by the name. Has anyone looked into inviting Gov. Christ to any of the EV events to give him an opportunity to drive an EV? It might convince him to try and help out with making

Hi all! I teach at PBCC South in Boca, and Andrew and Charles Whalen have been kind enough to display their vehicles here numerous times and I'm wondering if we could follow-up on this idea of getting elected officials to try out EVs (to get them plugged in) by hosting an EV Rally of some sort

Yes, I did about 34 months ago. I had contacted Senator McCain's staff in DC suggesting that he and governor Christ meet with Andrew, Charles Whalen, Shawn and myself in Tallahassee. The pupose was to make a presentation of our EV's and let them see what we in Florida have done; to inspire

Hi Michele and All, I believe only utilities can sell electricity in Fla so you might want to check that out before buying meters. Of course I don't think the electric company will mess with those whom give them their Ok to do business. Or since they are

I am hearing that the electric company will only give you credit towards future bills, not cash. Doesnt make sense if you produce your own electric and do not use the grid that you can only get a credit that you may never use. As mandated by Florida state law and already implemented by the

? Hi from Pete Amar in Fort Pierce on the central East coast. Some municipalities run their own utility companies, such as Fort Pierce, Vero Beach, and Lake Worth. So it should be viable for some municipalities to offer pay as you charge outlets. For others that really want to offer

I received a letter a few months ago from FPL informing me about the change in the net metering law. I was told I would be sent a new interconnect contract when available. I still have not received the new contract and I still do not have net metering. In addition to that, over a year

You will never have an annual credit if you live in South Florida unless you have a huge system and never run your AC. You don't need AC at all in South Florida if you design your house correctly. I have met several such people with homes in South Florida who do not need and don't use AC and
