It was an interview with Thomas A. Edison: “Talking of horseless carriage suggests to my mind that the horse is doomed. The bicycle, which, 10 years ago, was a curiosity, is now a necessity. It is found everywhere. Ten years from now you will be able to buy a horseless vehicle for what you would pay today for a wagon and a pair of horses. The money spent in the keep of the horses will be saved and the danger to life will be much reduced.”

Hey EV owners, need a free charge everyday? Go to Joiner park outside of wake forest, NC or Roseville. Wake Electric Coop is letting the rate payers to provide free charging. Also reduced KW rates between 10pm and 6am so you can get nearly free AC during the summer months.

So be well informed before investing into an EV. Make sure you understand that EV’s and power needs, for now, have limitations that you will be acceptable to live with, for your driving needs.
On Sept. 12, 1962, President Kennedy addressed a large crowd at Rice University in Houston during a two-day tour of space facilities across the country. During the speech, the President recommitted the nation to the Moon landing goal he proposed to Congress in May 1961.
We did it, too, with slide rules an pencils, and some early computational devices, seven years later. Are Americans quitters? We can’t do it? Cowards!
Buttigieg’s fancy electric SUV, which retails for more than $40,000, was assembled in Mexico by foreign workers. Ford said the decision to produce the vehicle outside the United States was driven by its desire to turn a profit by using cheap labor. Another factor was the company’s desire to avoid potential trade tariffs from the European Union and China, where Ford will produce the Mach-E for the Chinese market at its Chang’an Ford plant in Chongqing.
