~110 miles, round trip. I'm looking for work closer to home, but that requires more experience, which I'm not getting much where I'm working, so it is a slow process doing it on my own. Just need to find a place to give me a break.
Obviously you are not part of the vast majority.

You are correct sir. Timing belt, and non-interference.

Besides getting funding, Elio needs to do updated animations.

My brother-in-law has been commuting 136 miles round trip five days a week (except sick days, holidays and vacations) for over twenty years.
His route includes rural, freeway and inner city driving.

What's a "commute"

My problem with the current crop of EVs isn't that their electric, but that the technology is too new. Reminds me of early computers and being on the bleeding edge. With every major manufacturer doing their own thing and doing the necessary improvements as time goes on, I fear that parts and service will become almost impossible to get after the vehicles are ten to fifteen years old. Batteries will probably be available but what about all the electronics that drive the wheels? What I see happening is that leasing will become the norm and all older vehicles will be scrapped. No used market at all. The Elio also concerns me about it's computer, but an aftermarket system might become available in the ten to fifteen year range. A different issue is with the length of the vehicles. Many of the new manufacturers are making/designing their vehicles relatively short compared to standard ones. The long wheelbase of the Elio should provide better stability, especially at highway speeds.

Told husband that we are still arguing about ICE vs Electric. He figured we were talking about refrigerators ! Yea, our neighbors are Amish. But them have a propane frig.

You guys talking about "long" commutes obviously don't live in Texas. 100 mile round trip commute is not unusual around here.
When someone is coming to visit us they ask how far we are. Our answer is "1 hour". They then say, "But you don't know where we're coming from!" Our answer is, "It doesn't matter. We're an hour from everywhere!"
