U.S. Postal Service to test a repurposed electric vehicle fleet
Whether it was delivering packages via locomotive or launching 3,000 letters inside a guided missile, the U.S. Postal Service has always pushed the envelope when it comes to transportation.
The American Electric Vehicle Company in Ferndale, Michigan, will soon begin selling the all-electric car called the Kurrent for 00 (with a 00 federal tax rebate). The car costs about 1-cent per mile to drive, compared to 14- to 16-cents per mile for an SUV. SpartanEdge.com Editor Alex Scott and cameraman Phil Moon take the test vehicle out of a spin on the Michigan State University campus.
To think, draw, design and build cars is not only an enthralling mental process. Nor is it simply a business choice. It is also and above all a great social responsibility. Andrea Pininfarina (1957-2008)
About Me
Hi, my name is Ken Davis. I grew up working on cars, and have always been comfortable under the hood. I also care about the environment, and was searching for some way I could do my part to help fight global warming. Saving some money on my gas bill wouldn't hurt either. A friend suggested I take a look at converting one of my cars to run on electricity, and gave me some tips about how to get started. I put together this blog to share my experience.
