    First Success w/ Fast Charge EV Batts? Could be HUGE game changer!

    She is an ABC (always be charging) type person. Can't change that. We won't own the vehicle long enough to matter. Probably trading it off in summer '21.

    First Success w/ Fast Charge EV Batts? Could be HUGE game changer!

    Pre COVID work from home order, my wife did her 14 mile 1 way commute R/T 100% on EV with our Outlander PHEV.

    Excellent, I've been keeping my eyes open for one for about 6 months. Most are priced high for what you get. Hope you got a fair deal.

    Rocker panel replacement 2.5 gen

    Buy a southern truck. I also live in the salt belt and have looked at a lot of local Gen 2 and Gen 2.5 trucks. From my observations, Gen 2.5 frames rust thru to damaging levels much quicker than Gen 2 trucks. Buy a truck from Tx, NM, Az, Cali etc...
