  • Is that Waterford CT?..Call me Tim Vesely NEAES and Four Winds Solar Store.

  • @fourwindssolarstore Sorry, Waterford, Maine.

  • This is one of the greatest things my eyes have ever seen. You can make it happen. What John Howe and other men and women like him have done, is not just go solar, or off-the grid so to speak, they have instilled freedom back into minds.

  • @Reinpret Thank you kindly for comment.

  • Hi, sir, I would like to know more about John's recent work, but the web site posted seems invalid. Could you please double check. Thank you very much.

  • @hunyuanqi See John's website at solarcarandtractor . Thanks for watching.

  • If this ONE man can accomplish this for himself using what little he has when compared to the resources available to our country's government, private industry, and universities; it shows a shameful parade of weakness, greed, corruption, and complacency embraced by the majority of the people living in the USA. Or is it just fear?.......

  • For those of you paying attention, this man knows what's coming. A mild-mannered engineer foresees a problem and is adapting proactively.

    His advice: buy a little solar panel and play with it. We're lucky he is freely sharing his knowledge and giving advice.

    Canadian Tire sells little units that aren't overly expensive. Check it out (Canadians) I don't know where you'd go in the U.S. Google it and see...

  • this is really inspiring, thanks sir, I live in Malta a small island in the mediteranean sea. we get 360 days of sunlight a year and here everyone buys petrol powered cars, we are the 5th in the world as regards cars per 1000 people. I would love to get these golf cars in Malta to be converted into small mobility solar-powered vehicles but the EU banes them from the streets. WHY?
