Default EV in the Villages?

Currently, electric vehicles are NOT good for your only vehicle and definitely not for long trips. Their range is too short & the charging infrastructure is iffy. Electric vehicles ARE perfect as a second car, for local trips shopping or day trips, or short commutes less than 100 miles. Anyone who even casually reads any articles about EV's knows these things.

Now due to this guy's stupidity, all the anti-EV persons & media are using this extremely poor example to bash the EV industry. I don't own an EV but my next replacement for one of my two cars will be an EV. Don't be like this guy, do your own research and remember, Caveat Emptor!
Buy a golf cart as your second vehicle. You can get everywhere you need to go in the Villages on one
