    Sorry im used to engines, we’re talking about EV’s. Thats something other countries have as an option, lower speed, lower range, more affordable vehicles.

      Ah, so do we. Off highway vehicles. Few use them as a daily because why would you? A 10 year old used car is much better choice than anything new, if you want affordable, and you get the speed and range

        Not off highway, street legal. Legal to drive on the 40mph roads we have in town. For climate purposes, gas price reasons, and fewer moving parts and maintenance involved, i want an electric vehicle.

          I couldn’t agree more. For now, my options are electric scooters/bikes. Which are pretty great but don’t have air conditioning!

          The US will continue to trail behind the rest of the world in this industry due to the greed and lobbying bribery of the auto companies.
