I think owning a Tesla would be pretty sweet. I have no plans/means to buy one anytime in the near future though.

Negative. I’m too set in my ways and I’m comfortable with ICE. EVs have not yet reached the level of trustworthiness, economy, and range I want.
No plans on one but I’m not saying that won’t change. I’ll let innovation and the market determine that and hope the government doesn’t screw up the natural transition by trying to regulate it.

The house I purchased has a place in the garage to charge a Tesla. I thought about buying a Tesla but in the end I went with a 2019 Vette. I'm wondering if I can use that charging port on a golf kart.

Out of curiosity, what is the plug like? Is it like a 30amp plug for a camper? Is it a 120v circuit or 240v?

Just bought a Ram 2500 with a Cummins diesel in 2017. I figure that should last me at least another 15 yrs. by that time electric trucks should be pretty effective and charging stations built out to an acceptable level. So maybe the next vehicle I buy will be electric, but I’m not planning on buying any new vehicle for a long time.

I did a study a while back on issues related to electric vehicle adoption, and the client had a list of benefits to explore. I hadn't thought about this, but apparently electric vehicles have much less lifetime maintenance since their engines are so simple. That really made me think about getting one in the future.
Of course, I don't have a car at all right now, so I'm not exactly a good market.

It'll take a lot to get me to own one. But I'd love for it to be a significant part of transportation soon. You bet your ass I'd love to have more options when I'm drunk off my ass and need a ride home. |

For people like me who live in the middle of cities, I'm thinking that driverless cars will eventually obviate my need to own a car at all. I'll just step outside my door, whistle like a cowboy calling his horse, and a car will show up. Driverless cabs will be prowling around everywhere and it'll be cheaper and easier to use them than to own a car.
