If you want to get rid of noise, don't forget about motor cycles. They are the loudest and always travelling way over the speed limit!

Interesting. Feel for those who collect antique cars. Jay Leno and his collection will be null and void. It being illegal to run the durn things. Unless one has a spec permit?

Living in Michigan, we pay tax on our electric bill. Also Michigan charges more tax to liscense your car because they don't have to pay gas tax! You will never beat the system!

Just wondering-- What will happen to the old battery's when they won't charge anymore? Things are invented but no one ever thinks about how to dispose of the waste!

But Michigan loves it when us Ohioans come up to get Michigan tags for trailers... My 30' gooseneck cost about $100 a year or $700 for permanent tags from Michigan, my small 16' car trailer cost me $42 a year or $75 for a permanent tag from Michigan.

That will probably be great. But judging by the way they spend talking about every thing for twice as long as they intended, it won't happen in my life time, if it does I won't be driving by then.

Charging electric vehicles may be free at the moment, but when they become common, there will be a tax applied to the charging. A way round this could be DIY charging from solar panels on the roof of your house.
