If I only had one auto I would not have an all electric vehicle, it limits my ability to

I agree with that. With only one vehicle you either need rapid
recharge, battery pack swapping or much longer range than is available
now. However at some point it becomes cheaper to rent a car for
taking long trips if you don't do it that often. If you can get a
rental with unlimited mileage for around $200/week, it is cheaper than
driving your own on long trips.


Small electric vehicles would be perfect for you to carry on your boat.

Some people with slightly bigger boats than ours are already doing it
with golf cart type vehicles. We've also been seeing a lot of
electric bicycles recently. I'm tempted to get one myself. They
offer a typical range of 10 to 15 miles and sometimes have the option
of a spare battery pack.


From what I can see, the electric two wheeler has come into it's own.
Seems plenty of decent manufacturers out there, putting out a decent
piece of technology for the money...
