      The EV Album has over 2,700 EV’s; you may find someone in your area with an Electric Beetle.

    why can't you put solar panel/panels on the roof for a moving recharger?

    To charge the car each day after a 10 mile drive it would take 150 panels covering an area of 700 feet by 300 feet and cost is over $100,000.

    I pay 20 ¢ for power to recharge after the same distance drive.

    At 5% interest $100,000 would yield about $14 per day.
