Title
Toyota RAV4-EV and Honda EV+ (honda ev plus) Electric Car -- Electric Vehicles for everyone
Description
The Honda EV+ is the first production Electric Car which seats four, has a reasonable range, and is fun to drive.
Engineers, Mechanics, the mechanically inclined, will find an EV strangely satisfying. After trying to pin-point the feeling, it perhaps centers around the subliminal perception of "rightness". The EV has (basically) only one moving part, and it's moving in the right direction--same as the wheels. An internal combustion ("IC") engine has a thousand intricately inter-connected parts, all moving in different directions marvelously co-ordinated by timing mechanisms and clever design devices built up over a century of engineering--an amazing rube-goldberg device to accomplish what the EV's electric motor does with no effort. And, of course, the more intricate the machine, the more ways it can fail.
The car has all of Honda's tradition of quality, and is well-balanced, safe, a joy to handle, and will hook anyone on electric cars for ever more. Typically, I set people down in it (I'm in the passenger seat), hand them the keys, and they're on their own. Everyone who has driven it is first amazed that you don't have to "start" anything, and then how easy it is to drive, and then at its acceleration and "feel" of power. In traffic jams, regenerative braking and positive speed control virtually eliminate "stop and start" driving. Many people involuntarily exclaim, This is the way cars should drive!
