Most people wouldn't take that chance. All the way out to Abbotsford with 80% battery. Like I said, with 100%, I would have made it. Langley and back, no problem, but I have other cars for long trips. This morning, I started up the EV and left right away not having to warm up anything.

Last night, stuck behind a redneckmobile in McD's drive thru for 10 minutes spewing out all kinds of toxic fumes. I'm no tree hugger, but knowing zero emissions makes me feel a little better. I'm doing my part.

As for the quietness of the car comment, I was driving through Kensington Square parking lot when this guy turns and walks right into the car......... he didn't hear me coming. Someone told me they have this device you can install on EV's that mimic the sound of an ICE (Internal Combustion Engine), lol.

Dirty look from MG1 can melt steel beams.
