I work at home full time, rarely drive out of town and put maybe 4,000 miles a year on my car lately. And since I can get from any place in town from any other place without going on streets with posted speed limits over 35, I am more and more tempted to get a "neighborhood electric vehicle" and use that for all my puttering around town.
At its current price I'd sooner ride a bike even in the Texas summer than buy a Volt.
A place down the road sells golf carts...it sounds like a good idea. I think that one of the best things we ever did was to build our 1300 sq. ft. house on 10 acres of oak trees (although it took 5 years!). We are self-sufficient except for electricity - we do have a generator, though. Last month our power bill was $54.
