EVs in the hood

It turns out that the neighborhood I live in is a hot bed of EV activity. An engineer for the Barefoot ATV lives nearby. I drove one today, very nice. It has really smooth accelerating and has aggressive regen so it stops almost without braking.

Last week I drove Steve Titus' Solar Bug
, which has a solar panel on the top. It was a sunny day and the 48v panel was producing 3amps, which should recharge the batteries in a few hours after driving a few miles.
