All the hobby shops in my area are closed only one remains and it's almost entirely ARFs. And Cars. Wife's battery went dead and I had to go give it a jump with my Jeep. Bought a new Battery almost $200.00 With a trade in. That's the fifth battery I've bought this year. Starting to see alot of Electric cars. Not kidding about this. Asked a young guy how much it cost to charge his electric car and how long the charge last. He did not know but he can go 500 miles on a charge. But really its sbout 300 and takes 4 hours to get a good charge. You csn charge it less and extend the miles but a full charge takes about 8 hours. Ive seen a few charge ststions at DFW airport and one at a resturant going to.Shreveport. thats it. But.I see several electric cars. Oh one was on a flat bed tow truck. Glad I am 78. Dont think I will see the end results of this one!
