I hear that electric vehicles are wimpy or can't do things a gasoline powered car can. Sure they have better range, but they cost more to operate, a lot more.
This is why my mpge is so low. Even with my horrific mpge I'm only looking at 20 to 30 cents per day electric costs.

A few days ago I got 10 pallets, this time I got more.

I wanted to test the tractive force the leaf could produce so I hooked it up to my nearly 400lb, 8ft wide chain harrow.
It took about 10kw to pull it 9mph and dragged it around for about an hour. Need some A/T tires up front. Just turn the traction control off.
