ECONOMY and 'GREEN'


WHY NOT ?

Monday, May 05, 2008

Why not buy an Electric Car, if it is to be used locally , shopping, going to Church or to School?

Of course, Electric cars have been available for quite some time. Yes, for City Streets.

Just how long ago is 'Quite Some Time'? In 1927 I was 7 years

old living in Tulsa, Booming Times, a couple years or so before

the crash of Wall Street. Tulsa was small then, about 40,000

residents.

We children played ball in a vacant lot with an ally in the

back and a neighbor Lady drove up the ally in her ELECTRIC CAR,

honked to let us know not to run into the ally until she was on

by.

Yes this was in 1927. Dad's old MODEL-T was noisy enough to give warning without honking. Not the ELECTRIC CAR. Quiet as a mouse. That car had a 'Tiller Bar'. No steering wheel. The Lady Driver so Nice and dressed for the occasion in the open ELECTRIC CAR, DUSTER the Wrap was called and a few of us ran to follow and see her turn into the back yard.

We are now 'catching up' to 1927. Tune in your Computer to ELECTRIC CARS to learn of the Choices.

Will your trip be less than 40 miles? Is 25 miles an hour fast enough? Not planning a Road Race? This can be your car.

The Price? Surprising. Of course there are more expensive ones if one cares to be impressive. sam

    The very best thing economy wise and ecology wise would be a good mix of transportation types used.  Any one all alone would cause some shortage or problem or another.  Very interesting bit of historical information.  - BArbara
