Does Anyone Have a Plan for Electric Vehicles?
I do not want one and will fight tooth and nail before being forced into one. We have two full-size SUVs and one Class C Motor Home. We pull a boat with one vehicle, and the other transports many golfers and their clubs/carts. The usage makes a full-size a necessity for both.

California – Buy An Electric Car, They Said, But Don’t Charge it – There’s Not Enough Juice!
