When the weather is good, I ride a motorcycle to work. This week it's raining and my Jeep has the top off, so I'm driving my Cummins Ram which I hate. I leave the Jeep at the shop in case I need to run for some bigger parts or I now have a trailer that tows behind any of the three dual sport bikes.
The Smart would give me instant A/C/heat on the short commute and we also have solar at the house which was sized before we were energy efficient, so we have excess energy that I could put to work.....That said, it would never pay for itself before the battery failed. We had considered exploring more urban locations, so charging stations would be plentiful and I could charge at the RV park for free at night so long as nobody noticed?
