Esther [email protected] 1/26/2021 8:29 PMI bought an electric car in 2019, ostensibly to visit my daughter who lived, at that time about 4 hours away. In November of 2019, it became clear that I couldn't make the trip on one charge and there were no chargers along the way. So, I stored my car for the winter. Last June (of 2020), I realized that I had gone 7 months without a vehicle. Hmmmm...maybe I don't need this kind of transportation. And so it was. I found a couple who liked the car and now it ferries a family to and fro. I'm very satisfied with my decision. It takes me about 40 minutes to walk from one end of town to the other; in summer, I have a great bicycle. If I need to travel outside of the town where I live, I have really good friends who have offered their vehicle, should I need it.
