Thanks for the chuckle!

FYI, potentially useful: http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...eaf-33877.html

At this point, I've owned most of the eco cars I've wanted to try. I'd love an EV (mostly for the novelty of the driving experience), but practically speaking, it wouldn't suit my driving patterns. (I tend to drive mostly highway excursions, and bike most of my local trips.)

Unfortunately, like you, I'm disinclined to piss away money just for the heck of it. The only way I'd be getting an EV is if I found a deal I was confident I could re-sell later and at least break even.

Good luck on your hunt!
