Laura’s RAVolting experience: not revolting, actually EVgrinning
October 25, 2007 by Rob.
Today was “drive electric or die” day for Laura. With one of our gassers in the shop, she had to choose between enduring a fate worse than death by body piercing during an arena punk rock concert (aka a Pump It Up party) in our remaining gasser or taking our son in the RAVolt to a soothing guitar lesson with comfortable chairs.
After a mile of driving lessons, she was racing down MoPac leaving a sparking trail of electrons and no carbon footprints. She quickly mastered shifting without a clutch (no sweat) and she liked the manual steering (free workout). Overall, a successful EVgrin trip and now Laura is qualified to operate EVs in the US (except Delaware).
