All our vehicles have always been garaged . Hypothetically speaking, if your gasoline car accidentally, through no fault of your own, caught fire while housed in your garage, would your HO insurance pay for damages? It would. Same applies to electric cars. When the Chevrolet Bolt had the...

I wish I could use my ebike for more than just recreational riding. Living out in the countryside, miles from the local infrastructure of shopping and commerce, negates using an ebike, or any bike for that matter, as a means of transportation because of the distances involved. Thus we use the...

From my own personal experience one of the big problems is the vast majority of people (outside of California) haven't been introduced to an electric car unless they: 1. See one in the wild that has a friendly chatty knowledgeable owner happy to talk electric, or 2. See one on a legacy dealer...

Depends upon how much you want to pack in those bags. I have equestrian saddle bags (come in some wonderful colors) from Tough 1 that have two built in insulated drink holders so I don't have to bother with drink holders on the bike itself. Picture of my Rivian Blue Gazelle (story of that bike...

@harr - Congrats on your new Gazelle 380+. I have two - a 2022 and a 2023 (short version- won the 2023 in a raffle). It's a quality bike with outstanding components. Silent, and comfortable. The carbon belt will go through hell and high water and not even flinch. Your battery should give...

Thank you. 😁 I have to take it to the shop tomorrow for another tweak of the gearing. ATM I'm spinning at too high a cadence in the gears for my liking. I had been trying to get acclimated to the difference between this bike and it's identical twin, but the unmatched gear ratios are just making...

These shots were taken pausing just long enough to capture the storm clouds moving in on what was supposed to be an extended ride around the countryside on a very warm, sunny afternoon, but ended up being a quick "around the block and back". The clouds were white and puffy and there was...

@RabH You are, in one word, amazing. Your rides, your photos, your storylines. As always, thank you for sharing.

Just to try it out. See how it feels, how it works, how well it fits my petite frame. To get to know where the controls are, etc. My truck probably won't be ready for delivery until (maybe) October, if I'm lucky. They haven't started making the Maxpack yet. I didn't have to wait long before...

Yup. Rivian originally planned to come out with a maximum range truck first, which is what I wanted. That's what I preordered. Then their plans changed to start their production with a medium range truck, and the "Maxpack" was shoved to the back of the line. I got to watch all the lesser range...

In two weeks I'll be going to a "First Drive" with Rivian. After 4 years I'm finally going to get behind the wheel of this truck. About time.

I've been seeing them at the Level 3 charging stations. Great place to meet and chat with the owners. Even watched one arrive once and saw it "kneel" for the short stature female owner to alight. Thus far all I've spoken to love their Rivians. Same goes for the Ford Lightening owners I've met...

That was my concern, too, albeit not the biggest (which was range anxiety)....until the day 2 years ago when a windstorm took out the local Grid for 3 days. Not an extensive amount of time, but it was the first time I had really worried how to recharge my car. After a certain amount of panic...

Article on J.B Straubel, former CTO of Tesla, about his new venture in battery recycling. https://www.thecooldown.com/green-business/jb-straubel-tesla-evs-cto-battery-recycling/ Technology Review article on battery recycling...

Religions are ideology. Electric vehicles are fact. The former you can't see, touch, or smell (well, maybe that's debatable because a lot may say religions as a whole do stink. On the other hand, many laud the emotional benefits while completely ignoring any whiff of the olfactory) because they...

I really should have added "/s" to the conclusion of my post, shouldn't I. 🙊

You never want to leave a red car outside. Birds are attracted to the color (reminds them of food - berries, apples, lollipops, etc) and they will mark it as their own territory and lay waste to the paint with their white runny poop, as well as smudge the windows by fighting their own reflection...

Sorry, but that article not only misses on a major level, but it's very slanted reporting to make a non issue into "an issue". Spent time to read it to see if it had anything of value. Just found misinformation, outright lies, and inflated data to make nothing look like something. Click bait...

We purchased a Thule T2 Classic dual bike rack with a 2" truck receiver. Carries my low step Gazelle Ultimate C380+ beautifully. Solid, sturdy, no wiggles. I use my plastic mounting block (for mounting horses) to stand on to expend the least amount of effort into lifting the bike high enough to...

Level 3 super charging stations are available all along the Pennsylvania Turnpike, and along I95 in Maryland at their rest stop plazas. But not really elsewhere until the draconian "laws" against EV charging at all interstate rest stops has been dealt a death blow by legislators once they...
