Why are there no outward visibility requirements in cars?

eWillys.com is a great site if you haven’t found it yet. Also you could post a wanted ad (for free) over at OldWillysForum.com.

Someone bought it on Facebook. Not Tracy. The post from Oct 31 says: “Seems to be going to a great new home. A Grandfather and Grandson project. The best!”

East County, yes. By the coast, no. The coastal salt air will eat cars up (albeit not as quickly as in place with road salt).

Yeah... that looks homemade/custom to me too. My ‘66 J3000 didn’t have them, but it was 4wd.

You can register a vehicle without a title in California. It takes time, patience, and $... and a completed “Statement of Facts” form plus a half-dozen other forms.

25 miles covers a lot of daily miles. Once we start commuting again and if you have workplace charging, that’s a lot of case savings. Plus you can save the battery for once you reach the trail. I’m looking forward to it.

Where’s the Tylenol?

So, a modern Swedish interpretation of the AMC Eagle?

The facts on the USPS van are crazy; perfect for EV:

In their recent launch of the electric Transit van, Ford said their average customer drives about 75 miles a day, easily handled by today’s EV tech.

That’s true. It’s a portfolio approach. Not reason to not get started. For those who can’t charge overnight, it’s tough to own an EV. Norway has figured it out - a combination of fast charging plazas and workplace/parking lot slower charging.

Exactly this. A 120V grounded outlet coupled with the cordset that every EV has works as a “charging station.” That’s what we did for our first two EVs. If you have a dryer outlet in your garage, you can jump up to a faster overnight charging station. Easy-peasy.

This. Adding more than a few plug-in crossovers, SUVs, and pickups to the mix would help too.

How about a PHEV F-150 or Expedition with 30 miles of electric range and an EcoBoost V6?

That’s the point.

It’s less about the last ten feet (the charging box and cable) that we all see, but all the visible and hidden invisible stuff to support the charging station.

Our first EV was a FIAT 500E (wife, one kid, one dog). It included 12 rental car “days” (credits) for each year of the lease, so those few times a year when we needed a 4x4 pickup or SUV to get to a remote cabin, we could. There was a rental office within walking distance from home. Easy.

This. Hat tip.
