... is that the car definitely
works for us, and works well enough to warrant getting a
second one to eliminate the remaining gasoline miles out
of our normal commuting. Our normal pattern has been to
carpool from our house in Cerritos down to the Orange
County Costa Mesa area, where we pick up a second car to
go our separate ways to work. Obviously until now, the
second car was a gasoline car.
We're not claiming the car will eliminate all gasoline
cars (or even all of OUR gasoline cars), but our use of
the EV1 fits the original intent of the design, which is
to serve as a low-maintenance, short-distance commuter
vehicle. In this role, it has been performing very well
and we certainly have enough experience (23,000 miles)
with the first one to have strong confidence in the
second.
