National Drive Electric Week Begins: 2 Local Used Electric Vehicles for Sale

[Yep, it's a minipost]

Both ends of the spectrum here:

a 2014 Tesla Model S and...

an "as is" electric bike.

The Tesla is on Amarillo Craigslist and there is no price listed. It's the first Tesla I've seen for sale locally. The Ezip bicycle is on Lubbock Craigslist and says "as is". If it just needs batteries, the $100 price is not bad for a very basic entry level e-bike. (If it needs a rear wheel, I just happen to have one for it.)

Be sure and tell 'em the Mesquite Hugger sent you!

So there you go. I will keep looking to see if anything somewhere between these pops up.

May you find green transport that fits your budget and your needs while making the world a little healthier for us all.

Electric Car News: Eggs Are on the Way

I'd drive it happily!

The 2014 Mitsubishi MiEVs are shipping now. I don't think the MiEV is the coolest or most impressive electric car ever, but I do think it is a great car for 90% of us to do 98% of our daily driving on a very small amount of money while making very little negative impact on our world. That's a very wordy way of saying Snagit, I want one! Now, I just wish I could talk Mitsubishi (or Ford, Nissan, Chevy....) to make a small pickup with similar numbers...

If you want numbers to do the math for yourself, here is an article (Thanks, Knippa!!!) that lines it out for you: http://www.torquenews.com/1084/most-affordable-ev-america-mitsubishi-i-miev-arrives-spring

And don't forget the Texas incentive: http://www.afdc.energy.gov/laws/state_summary/TX

EV Grin!

May the numbers be in your favor and may your local Mitubishi dealers stock their shelves!
