[QUOTE="ClassicBiker, post: 96796, member: 1632"] Well at least the range is approaching almost acceptable. At least I can get to and from work on a single charge. I work 23 miles from the house. Last time I checked on e-bike range it was 35 miles and I worked 36 from the house. Salesman suggested that I either take the bike to my desk and charge it for the ride home or drop a power cord out the window. I thought to myself I'm sure my employer is going to go for those options! I understand that possibly at sometime in the future there might be a need for electric vehicles, more than there is now, but what I don't understand is why all the activists, politicians, advocates, et al, think that parking garages, employers, store owners, owners of shopping malls, etc. should pay for the installation of the infrastructure to charge these vehicles and provide it for free. Now granted some have and I applaud them for it, I know that they probably get some sort of tax break for it, but it seems to me a bit of an imposition to expect it. Though the aforementioned get a tax break I would like to know how that tax break compares to the initial investment. I also understand that it is perk or incentive to work or shop in a certain place, again does the return justify the investment or are we all just drinking the "green" Kool-Aid? Steven [/QUOTE]
