So, you're saying it costs $1800/year just to operate your Tomberlin? That sounds like an awful lot to pay for the convenience. I'm not trying to be confrontational. I would love to have an electric GC when we do buy one. I'm just concerned with the battery capacity and the distances and possble night driving. If TV had some charging stations several places that you could get a power bost periodically, it would make the choice easier to go with electric. Our car is a Prius, so I'm all for trying to cut back on the emissions and all that, but I'm just worried that we would run the batteries down.
