And it's now a Pug-In car

nice looking Pony

Giddy up.

“Pug in car”

That made my day and it’s only 7:35 here.

That car looks like it’s going 100 mph standing still. (Insert thumbs up here)

I thought I would add something here about EVs in Price County Wisconsin. First of all I don’t know how many are owned local but I think it’s only a handful. With so few registered here I found it odd they added a charging station where WI13 and US8 cross. There is a small truck stop there so it’s a natural that is where it should go.

Now I would think it would not be very busy but that is not the case. One of the guys that installed my propane tanks owns the truck stop and he is where I’m getting my information. According to him there is a list of charging stations which the people with EVs have. His business has seen a big jump in sales the day it was installed and he has spoken with other business’ that have said the same think.

Instead of criticizing the idea which most say is not practical in this area they are harvesting the benefits of it being there.

A couple of years ago we were north bound on Florida's Turnpike at about eleven in the evening when I decided to stop
at one of their Kiosks for fuel. As I fueled up at the pump I noticed that there were about half a dozen charging stations
at the north end of the lot with a car backed into each one. There were also about a dozen cars lined up waiting their
turn to charge. They were all standing around patiently waiting while I got my gas, gave them a wave, and continued
on my way.

Thanks folks for saving the World for me, but I just don't have the time. Sorry.

Just read where the Governor of Colorado wants to eliminate all gas powered lawn and garden equipment that the state uses for lawn care here along the front range. Its coming but right now my resistance is strong.

It's a life style change for sure. I charge at home off of my Solar system most of the time.

When I take road trips, I have to use the Public chargers and I have had to wait my turn. You meet mostly nice folks while charging but I have run into a couple rude know it alls.

The charging infrastructure is not up to the challenge currently but more are coming on line every day.

I personally am not trying to be a EV evangelist . I bought my Mustang for the fun factor and boy oh boy is it fun to drive.

I'm not saving the planet, not trying push EV's and I hate the fact the government is trying to mandate these vehicles on us.

EV's are not practical for the majority of the country.

This was my first public charging,
