I usually drive right past cops with the cruise set on 74. Might be a

I didn't think anybody but Craig cared.
Want to decide what one I'm buying and pay for it today so I'll have it
next week.
The top contenders are both still in cars.

Every proposal I saw for per mile taxes involved installing a GPS

But, as they say in the investment world, past performance is not a
prediction of future performance.
Myself, I'd never dream of paying 89% of new for a used EV, especially
one that's still on the market.

"No maintenance" is some of the hype I mentioned in my last message.
There are still brakes, they last longer than an ICE car but they will
still need replacement. Tires too.

Transmission Control Module. Electronic nanny under the dash below the
steering wheel. Not supposed to have tranny fluid in it!
But have you checked to see if there is tranny fluid in it?
MBZ tranny wiring is great at wicking thin oil

The inverter does not need to be in the car any more than the inverter

I'm also concerned about battery longevity. How much range do you lose
after 5 years? 10? Very little real-world data yet.
We've long assumed 35%/5 years (65% remaining), but the Chevy Spark

Anybody with a 50a 240v dryer outlet can charge an electric car.
If solar panels can run hour meter backward, so can a battery.
If you put an inverter in the car so it can generate 60hz AC.

BenzWorld somebody was dumping a project E320 wagon, low miles, great
