Overview:
Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

Speaking for myself, I like to trailer my horse to different places to go riding. Other people take boats/RVs/motorcycles to local, but not close, recreational areas. It also trivializes being able to move, and when you live in an apartment (the amount of Americans that own a house is definitely not increasing), being able to tow is fantastic as an option. The US is simply just very spread out, and because our government doesn’t subsidize much to be built across all communities, you kinda are forced to travel to what you like to do. Forget being able to move somewhere outdoorsy while maintaining a high degree of quality of life (high paying, easy, fulfilling jobs, not living in an assbackwards red state).
A horse definitely necessitates towing capabilities, that will never fit in my car!
Where I live the coast is rarely more than 60 minutes drive away, so boats are just moored at the harbours, as we have no lakes to speak of
Also, American appliances are much bigger than in Europe. My pedestrian washing machine at home holds more clothes than the washers I use at laundromats in Marseille when I visit.
