With millions of EVs on the road today and thousands of electric carts in the Villages and elsewhere, just what constitutes "taking off"? What will it take for the naysayers to accept that the boogeyman of battery-replacement cost is a non-starter?
Admit it you traded it cause you knew if was going to cost you big time. I drove Ford Torino for 180K miles and 8 years. When I sold it didn’t use any oil between changes. In those 8 years I changed water pump, brakes, heater hoses, tires. The kid I sold it to drove it for another 4 years going to collage. Not bad for his 1100 dollar investment.
