I am in Fenney however the lack of accessible gas stations down here is not the reason I would at this point prefer electric and as a matter of fact most of the ones running around down here are gas. In thinking about it, there really aren't all that many gas stations south of 466 and there is a lot of dead space between them so many people have a long ride to get to one. I have always found the electrics to be simple and pretty much maintenance free other than charging and water. I used to like working on cars and tractors, etc., but over the last several years I gave up on doing all that. Just a personal thing I guess. I'm going to do a little research on the lithium batteries.
