Fox carolinas ben hill has more in todays angies list report 3 3 eric rowland rohland is all about efficiency and sustainability, which is why he bought a hybrid vehicle years ago. Ago. 3 at first, i thought of electric cars as just being economical and sort of glorified golf carts, and this one has certainly got it out of that range. Rowland has now ditched his hybrid and gone all electric. His High Performance tesla is a six figure investment justified, in part, by lower maintenance costs. Costs. 3 the other big savings with a Pure Electric car, you dont have oil changes, you dont have radiator flushes. You do have to check your brake pads, but the maintenance, in the long run, is significantly reduced. While many of us cant afford a luxury, and chevrolet are promising new evs in the 30thousand dollar range in the coming months. Thats the average price of a new gaspowered car, and these cars should double most current evs range of 80 to 100 miles between chargings. If you decide to pull the plug on your gas guzzler, you may need a new plug at home. Home. 3 you want to make sure you have the proper outlet at your home or outside your garage so you can charge it. A lot of times people will use a 120 volt outlet, but you really would want a 240volt. Its going to take less time to charge your car. Youll also want to take note of public charging stations, which are much more numerous these days. Rowland says he hasnt changed his driving habits much, he trips. 3 at this point, id be really hardpressed to see going back to using a gas car. I just havent, we havent had any need. 3 your home electric bill will certainly rise if you go with an electric car, but angie says to check with your utility provider on a peak hours to charge your car.

And reaction leaders there are those who say we cannot defeat a corrupt political system and fix a rigged economy. But i believe we need to lift our vision above the obstacles in place and look to the american horizon. To a nation where every child can not only dream of going to college, but attend one. Where quality healthcare will be a birthright of every citizen. Where a good job is not a wish, but a reality. Where women receive equal pay and a living wage is paid to all. An america where after a lifetime of labor, there is time for rest and grandchildren. A nation that defends our people and our values, but no longer carries so much of that burden alone. If we listen to our conscience and our hearts and not to the pundits and the naysayers. Im Bernie Sanders. I approve this message, and i ask for your vote. I dont want to live with the uncertainties of hep c. Or wonder whether i should seek treatment. I am ready. Because today theres harvoni.
