No, I am not.

Last night, I drove the Electro-Metro over ten miles and clocked the recharge energy usage. It came to about 280 watt-hours per mile or roughly 130 eMPG.

I was working on the motorcycle this past Sunday, as it was having really strange problems. I tracked it down to that bad battery post. Worked great all summer for a home-brew repair, but it has finally failed. Time to take it to a battery repair place!
