You got a LONG extension cord with that?

After a couple of rebuilds ('cuz the guys in Salida had no clue what they were doing), and a recent battery upgrade, Mike has finally been able to use Electro-Willys for commuting. He can get about 60 miles per charge. With a 25-mile communte, that means he can run errands around town with no problem.

Mike is able to plug in to the business next door so that he has a full charge to come home on. One day E-W didn't get plugged right, and he worried about coming home. Had me on "tow-alert" just in case. Come to find out, he got home and still had plenty of charge left.



When people find out he is going to take E-W on the Alaska Highway, they usually respond with some smart-alicky quip like: "You got a Long extension cord with that?" or "Hope you can find enough current bushes!" Yes, he does have a long extension cord, but NOT that long.
