Howdy EVeryone -
For those who view EV drivers as an impediment to their god-given right to burn fossil fuels - tomorrow is a GREAT day, just brimming with possibilities!
For those who feel that we seriously need to rethink our fossil fuel consumption practices, then tomorrow symbolizes a tragic loss.
After 2pm tomorrow, there is no way that I can legally keep my EV1. GM leased them only – never sold. As each car comes off of lease, there is no way to extend the lease or purchase the car. Yes, I knew this going in, but it doesn't mean that I have to be happy about it. As terrible as GM wants us to think these cars are, they have already shipped 300 of them to NY to buy themselves clean air credits in that state. Yup, they bought their credits here in CA, and then with the same cars (obviously no longer keeping OUR air clean) they are getting similar credits in NY.
I know that I haven't discussed this stuff publicly here for quite some time. There are many reasons for that. But rest assured that EV "stuff" is still what I spend most of my energy and time on. I have some new and exciting answers to some of the old and tired questions, if anybody is inclined to keep asking them. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Here is a good place to start if you want to catch up on your EV reading: Link
And if you haven't visited my site in a while, there are some fun LED mods in the Rav4 section (mods tab): http://darelldd.com/ev
