Re: [EVDL] NEV is a stoopid idea. Moped is better

You can talk all you want about an NEV but it is basically a car without the speed. An enclosed 3 passenger moped is so much cheaper and practical. Moped license is more valuable since it is one time only and you get to go 5mph faster. Cheaper insurance. They start around $2.000 dollars. No NEV

Re: [EVDL] NEV is a stoopid idea. Moped is better

Yes, these micro cars, such as the Elf and Tactical Elf are way too expensive, but that is almost certainly due to their limited production. But their advantages in an urban environment in terms of operating cost, quietness, dramatically reduced energy, and traffic/parking space should draw

Re: [EVDL] NEV is a stoopid idea. Moped is better

FWIW, I was in Shanghai about 2 years ago - amazing transformation from ugly and smelly.  All of the motorcycles and 3-wheel delivery vehicles are now electric.  The noise level was dramatically reduced in addition to the smog reduction. So NEVs do indeed have their place, as long as one

The smaller you make a gas vehicle, the uglier, noisier, dirtier, they become . In addition, they are proportionally less efficient. So small gas vehicles are generally a bad idea: they are responsible for much of the horrific pollution you see in much of asia. . But electric vehicles downsize

Re: [EVDL] NEV is a stoopid idea. Moped is better

Your comment about golf carts in San Francisco surprises me. Unless it has been recently changed, state law allows them to be driven on public roads only if they are within a short distance (I can’t recall exactly how far - half mile?) of a golf course AND the city has adopted an ordinance

Re: [EVDL] NEV is a stoopid idea. Moped is better

There are only two ways out of my neighborhood. The short way is on a highway with a 55mph speed limit. The long way (adds 6 miles) has a posted speed limit of 45. So technically NEVs would not be a legal way to get to town. On the other hand, I doubt anyone else around here ( including the

If NEVs are such a "stoopid" idea, why do you see so many smiling people driving golf cars around retirement communities? David Roden, EVDL moderator & general lackey To reach me, don't reply to this message; I won't get it. Use my offlist address here : http://evdl.org/help/index.html#supt

[EVDL] NEV is a stoopid idea. Moped is better

Speed disadvantage. No price advantage compared to a more functional used EV. A moped (tuk tuk style) has the advantage of less cost on insurance and a one time registration and holds three people. NEV should just die. Lawrence Rhodes ___ Address
