Two electric cars in two days

I imagine this problem would exist for any large person in any golf-cart-sized car, no matter how it is powered.

Unless you consider all "electric cars" to be GEMs or other NEVs, you may very well have seen other electric vehicles before and not realized it. Many models look no different than their gasoline counter parts. Here are the ones I've owned: http://evnut.com/ Just the other day I thought I was seeing a Tesla
Roadster, but it turned out to "only" be a Lotus Elise.

I prefer to think of "electric cars" as those vehicles that have the highway capabilty and features of traditional cars. The vehicles you are speaking of are NEVs, or Neighborhood Electric Vehicles. They are limited to 25mph, and are not necessarily what most people think of when they think of "cars."

I'm guessing this thread would be a better fit under "other cars" ??

Darell, we just passed a village ordinance that allows low speed vehicles on all village streets. It's only a start, but already we are seeing an increase in the use of golf cart like vehicles.

Tesla motors is making a new plant in NM-- of course, the cars are very luxury and about $100,000.
Their next car might be about $50,000 which is quite a deal...
