Today we took home our first electric car.
We only have one car and honestly we see them as an undesirable necessity. We’re not car people, and we try to be green so we don’t buy into the whole 3-year car replacement cycle (embodied energy cost of car manufacture outweighs the impact of usage over lifetime). I cycle the short distance to our co-working space every day. Our faithful but now worn-out Toyota Corolla Verso is 13 years old, with 200,000 miles on the clock. It served us very well, but we’re going to be selling it soon!
