I've a bike as well, but there's days I'd rather ride than peddle, and
I'd rather have transportation not controlled by the whims of people who
don't like us very much ;~)Who knows what grid power is going to cost in
five years when oil goes through the roof.....

Who know what those batteries will cost when alternative energy products go
through the roof.
Or wait? Maybe the fad will be over!

And maybe the sun will burn out, or a tidal wave will engulf the
world... who gives a shit. As long as it lasts it cost nothing to drive,
enjoy it will it lasts. As far as batteries go any deep cycle battery
will work.

High mileage vehicles are not a fad, and will be the reality if you wish
to drive anything other than a bicycle.

You totally miss the point. They are not free, no matter how far you stick
your head up your ass.

The point is once it's paid for, other than regular maintenance, yes it
is free. No gas, no road tax, batteries charged by existing PV. BTW
battery packs are under $200.00, the equivalent of two tanks of gas in
Canada.
