Just six years and forty thousand miles

It's been a while since I've posted anything EV related on this blog.  Mainly this is due to nothing interesting to post.

The EV Saturn Vue has been basically trouble free for the last several years.  Other than a loose tach wire here, a dead 12V battery there, and new tires there has been nothing to keep it off of the road.

It's been six years since I put the Vue into service.  And over the six years I've put over 40k EV miles on it.  This is on top of the over 100k miles it had on it before the conversion.

The only new news for the Vue is that I may be taking it out of service some time in the next year.  Eight years ago when I originally started planning the Vue conversion there were no OEM electric cars available that fit my needs.  Fast forward eight years.

The Vue is now thirteen years old.  Multiple manufacturers offer EV's with more being produced all the time.  And I want one of them!  So hopefully this year, if Elon can get his act together, I'll have a new Tesla Model X sitting in my garage.

At that point I plan on taking the Vue out of service.  Though it works perfectly fine it's tough to sell a converted EV.  I could take the parts and sell them off, but again not a great option.  Instead I plan on taking my F150 truck and converting it to an EV with the parts from the Vue!  More on that to come...
