This level of gullibility and density is typical of a certain percentage of H. sapiens of all sorts, green, brown, left, right, and nothing special to those of us who are green.

When I was younger (teens, 20s and 30s) I could easily go as fast as this thing on my bicycle.

Couldn’t resist, sory.

There’s a diaper service up here that sports two Xebras. The irony, oh, my head bleeds….

Saw a GEM running down the 55 mph stretch. He was out of his element.

If you put alternative energy into a Malibu, it could be an excellent car while being a 0-emitter.

Suppose you are driving in a tunnel or in a building, then you have to use a battery car. A Honda Fit just won’t do. Also, what if you need to carry 200 pounds of bulky stuff, then you cannot do it with a bicycle.

You can get a nice Global Electric Motorcar for $9-15k. They have been around for some time and work well in their niche.

Or to go all out you cold purchase a bater 2WD Tacoma or S-10 sans engine and have it professionally converted to an EV for $10-15k.

A birth watch section, please ?

The Zap I think.

1) The Junkyard
2) Gated Retirement Communities, where everything is availible in a 5-mile geriatric radius

Other than those exceptions, I see no reason for anyone to buy any NEV over even a lowly Aveo. Unless you were hell-bent on getting an Electric vehicle NOW; there is really no practical reason to own one.

By limiting the vehicle to 25 mph, they are classified as NEVs and thus are exempt from laws requiring airbags and other safety features. The whole idea is basically, “How much damage can you do at 25 mph?” I know Washington State allows NEVs to go 35 mph legally.

I’ll be holding out for my electric car…

I have to ask this: why would you sell an electric car without regen-braking? And how would be insane enough to buy it? I’m all for electric cars, but unless you have a really good reason to skip either a) public transit or b) a velomobile, these are pretty silly.

On a related note, I got some seat time in one of bluevelo’s imports, back when I was in good shape. I could easily hit 35km/h sustained, and could burst higher. And it was stable enough for winter and bad-weather use. The upper-trim ones can take cargo and have lighting, signals and horns. Unless I lived in San Francisco and had to contend with hills, it’d be a totally valid form of transport.

What a piece of utter crap. I can’t believe how gullible and dense the hardcore greenheads are. But I shouldn’t be surprised, they swallow any environmental shock story wholeheartedly without bothering to fact check or, you know, look at the science. Ergo they will probably shell out to buy the first shitbox that has zero emissions without actually making an informed decision or attempting to be anything other than a smug, hemp chewing, masochistic little jerk.

“Zero All Electric Pollution Vehicle”? WTF?

There also used to be a river somewhere down Sandy Boulevard. It was out in the country back then. Last time I was there, I couldn’t find it tho. I think it got buried by urbania.
