truck

I've been thinking about my needs for an EV and I am now considering something larger rather than smaller. I have a 1989 Toyota 4x4 pickup truck with a cap and I rarely drive it, but it comes in handy once in a while for getting stuff like firewood, furniture, building supplies, appliances, etc...

Announcing the one month birthday of SHAZAM! my electric truck. One month ago with much effort and few fla batteries he hopped of of the ramps and tasted pavement as an ev. Made the first few laps around the neighborhood, and carried his first k9 and human passengers. After a month of very...
