The Rev. Alan Flaitz enjoys his daily jaunts in his electric vehicle. While it suits his needs, Flaitz notes there are pros and cons to owning such a vehicle.
WHEELING Pastor Alan Flaitz most definitely believes in the power of prayer. He also has put great faith in the power of his EV electric vehicle.
Rev. Flaitz is the pastor at Fourth Street United Methodist Church in Wheeling and Pleasant Hills United Methodist Church near Sherrard. A year ago after much study into the idea of an electric-powered vehicle, Flaitz took the plunge and purchased a new Chevrolet Bolt. He is one of only about a dozen West Virginia residents who drive such a vehicle, according to state registration records.
