Make a log of your driving and your needs and figure that if you want a lead acid pack to last more then a year or two that you need to keep it above 50% state of charge, then go with as high of voltage as you can afford.

The Quiet Revolution

Link to my blog at EV World titled "The Quiet Revolution". There are links to three You Tube Videos embedded in the blog concerning EV's. Two of them are to Fully Charged and one of them is a 14 minute video I shot on a power point presentation I am working on about EV's.

Quotes I remember from "Fully Charged" emissions from a EV charged with dirty coal fired electricity mine to wheel 40 grams per kilometer, emissions from a ICE car 125 grams per kilometer, but a ICE car well to wheel 450 grams per kilometer. P.S. We charge our EV with solar panels, no transmission loses, zero emissions.

Canada's Electa Mechanicas's SOLO,enclosed,3-wheel,100-mile range, EV has hit the California market.
It sells for a 'little' over $15,000 US,and is allowed to access the H.O.V. lanes.
It has a coefficient of aerodynamic drag of 0.24,like a Tesla Model S/X.
It's easy to find on GOOGLE
If California law asn't changed from when I emigrated,the Highway Patrol will allow you to 'drive' between stalled,gridlock traffic if you can physically fit through.

That's what we used to call splitting the lane and it although is NOT illegal, it is frowned upon. My Harley dresser with crash bars barely fit except for the left hand or right hand most lanes. Big @$#+%& truck mirrors were an issue too.

Nice thing about the harley was when someone decided to be smart and open their door as I went by. Harley didn't care, door did.

New 2021 USA administration should speed up the removing of ICE, promoting the autonomous EVs, thus killing the private car ownership. All in great Global "reset".
