    I do own a little electric jeep with around 10 miles of range, it’s great for around the farm use. That’s where I like having the farmyard with plenty of room, I can keep special purpose vehicles.

    It’s kind of a conversion-ish thing itself, Pinto transmission and rear end, heavy old 8hp series motor. 1970s electric tech.

    The big killer here is insurance. I’m lucky to insure it as an antique for very little money, but if you have to insure a special purpose car it’s often not worth the fuel you save. I think they should have a special insurance program for short range cars, as you clearly can only drive one car at a time.
