About 8 to 12 years too late.

Yeah electric cars kind of suck for road trips.
The only way my 24kwh leaf is going to make it to the nearest big city is with my vee-8 twin turbo diesel powered leaf range extender.
Next time I'm at the coop I can ask how much 300hp service would run. Then we can only imagine how much the difference between a rural coops rates and corrupt MD would be.

My monthly cost for an insignificant 25kw 3 phase 480v connection would be $42 per month. Then once I use more than about 415kwh per month they charge me an additional 8 cents per kwh.
