So at the IL Renewable Energy Fair I bought an electric car at the silent auction. It is a 1974 Subaru front wheel drive.
Although it was parked running it sat for a few years and the batteries are completely done for. I haven't had time to replace them yet and am excited for the joy of driving around town.
It is a "unique" color; kind of a blend of 70s green and vomit and grass otherwise renamed by me as being Electric Green. Definitely an interesting looking car even without the electric part.
It is great looking out my window at it. Since I normally ride my bike around town I didn't think I really needed an around town car but I am finding myself driving a lot lately; needing to pick up this or that. I really NEED to find the time to work on the Electric Eel (that is what I have named it so far).
Electric Eel; ugly & shocking but fast & efficient.
