While cruising through south Asheville today, we noticed a weird looking vehicle up on one of the sidewalks. As we got closer, it began to take off, so we rushed ahead to get a photo of it. Turns out is the new Elf Organic Transit Solar Powered Electric Vehicle, made nearby in Durham North Carolina.
I did some research and found out that it gives 1800 MPGE, the equivalent of gasoline expenditure in the average automobile, goes 30 MPH, has a 48 mile range, has a 750 Watt Electric Motor, and zero emissions. It sounds like the perfect fit for Asheville NC!
Asheville Used Car Dealers are a dime a dozen. Just about anyone who can get their hands on a few vehicles, wants to open up a shop to make a quick profit. Some groups buy totaled cars with a clear title, fix a few things, and then sell them as if they never had an accident. Then there are some that could shine up any lemon on the lot and sell it to folks, leaving them to deal with plenty of needed repairs in the near future. My family purchased a vehicle from one of these used car superstores and has had nothing but problems. She bought it as is, with problems that she was not made aware of and all included. Where do you think the term “used car salesman” comes from? It is because unfortunately, to many.. the sale of a vehicle comes before making sure that the buyer receives a dependable vehicle and something where the value is close to the price they are paying for it.
