🔌Who’s in Charge…

My son and I recently embarked on an electric adventure around our cul-de-sac. While I cruised on my e-bike, he navigated his electric Jeep. However, we realized that the Jeep could benefit from some upgrades, particularly in terms of rubber tires and power. If you have any suggestions, we’d love to hear them!

What’s the Poll?

With 40% of the votes, 300-400 miles of range came in first place in our poll on Thursday.  54% said over 300 miles.  Ya’ll are driving a ton.

Some notable comments included:

“300 is ideal. If one is to charge to 80% on a long trip, 240 miles makes me comfortably in all conditions. ”

“I want an EV that gets more than 500 highway miles going about 75 mph. This will get me to my grandkids without charging.”

“If you charge at home, 250 miles is far more than most people drive in a day. Smaller battery is cheaper, less weight and faster charge. ”
