Best of luck, a very different way of driving, very smooth, quiet and comfortable. Son Graham rented an electric Suv when here last summer to try it out.
Until 9 years ago while living in Calgary, for the previous 7 years he was a fireman at SpringBank airport between Calgary and Banff.
He became the best driver of the fire trucks. He told me he liked the Suv, but soon realized that no person can hear you on the road or when they step off a sidewalk without looking in both directions.
That vehicle was able to run for 500 Kms without recharging; in the ten days he was here he did not need to recharge! He drove into Ottawa many times and also took me to Clayton several times.
Almonte was one of the first small towns to have an electric charging point, at the engineer plant opposite the old Flour Mill.
Another piece of interest; where I park my car underground in #1 space right against the far end stone wall, the previous owner had an electric car; his charging unit cost him over $10,000 to have it installed, it is still there but not active.
You are welcome to see it, but I'm sure you could drive in if I ask John Dawson.
Son Ian has had a "half and half " car for a few years which he much prefers, light on gas and not having to worry "where is the next charging unit."
Once more, good night.
Suzanne
