Good To Chat with Dan Sturges, Transportation Visionary

On my way to the electric vehicle show in downtown Los Angeles this morning I dropped in to see 2GreenEnergy associate Dan Sturges.  I picked him up at his place in nearby Culver City, and chatted with him about the future of transportation while I had my 17-year-old BMW washed.  As I explained to Dan, “I hope you’re not shocked that I would drive a car with 247K miles on it, but, as I’ve said many times, I’m never buying another car that burns gas — and the cost/benefit equation of EVs are just starting to come into line.”

Btw, that statement was borne out by what’s on display here at the show.  Lots of new models, improving range, prices high, but, I believe, poised to come down.  Toyota unveiled their RAV4 Electric.  Nice looking  SUV, but it’s bigger than I need, 100 mile range, and MSRP just under $50,000.  This stuff needs to be less expensive, and I believe will be one day soon.
