@jpmorgan187 We pollute as much as China and we will always. It's just that they don't buy Gore's co2 and carbon cap BS. But we do and as a consequence of the cap and trade, we will have to pay to expel co2. Buy the way, as you read this, how much co2 did you expel. What ever the amount, try not to tell your friend Al or he'll be thinking of a way to charge you for your polluting lungs.

this is a car pedobear should have.

"kids love is"

[jpmorgan187]

how is environmental leaders shipping your "cars" from China.  Not only does shipping expel tons of C02, but China is now the worlds worst polluter.

I heard there is a solar panel option for $2,000. All day in the sun gets you 2 miles or so.

Hey sparti555. You are the real DF. Assuming that by "standard batteries" you mean regular lead-acid batteries. You should do a little research before you go spouting off like the rear end of a horse :-) It just so happens that "standard batteries" are 99% recyclable. Why do you think they can be returned for a core charge refund in many states? Duh.

Hello do the company sell the truck with a close box in the back and solar panel ??? thank you for th answer

[sparti555]

So I made a spelling mistake Why don't you shoot me. You really are a DUMB FUCK. Read up on batteries then comment. Why would you want to run your car in the garage. Oh, I get it, your trying to commit suicide in the garage with an Electric vehicle HA HA HA HA HA

[tardyseven]

Millions of batteries in the dumps? Oh really, you might look into what happens to the valuable commodities in batteries and how much is recycled. Gas less of a pollutant (use a spell check or finish H.S. please)?  Try this: Run your "gas" car in your garage with the door closed, while I run my electric car in the garage with the door closed. Which is less of a pollutant?
