On the tube today there was a repeat byte about a man in Midlands, TX entitled Man Builds
All Electric Car, who commutes with a battery powered car that he built. He had mixed
reactions from folks about town that recognized his car was all electric. What was remarkable
about him and the car was that he was not a "Greenie." His comment was, “When I started
building this car, gas was three dollars a gallon.” His deep-cycle lead-acid Battery Electric Vehicle
(BEV), which does not have air conditioning, is not used by him as a way to help the
environment. He admitted that he has a "regular car" for trips to Dallas. He was straightforward
and honest in that after doing the numbers he opted for an all electric car, charged when it's at
his home, in order to save money from his daily work commute.
.
In plain English, his monthly trips in town log him 850 miles per month, which has raised his
monthly home electric bill from charging the car, an additional fifteen dollars per month over
the prior year at the same time; that's 0.0176 (two) cents per mile.
