Happy Holidays to you too Lee.
This is a snapshot of our OutBack 3KW PV as the suns shines on our house
here in Hills, MN today. Everyone on the EVDL keeps me going in the
right direction thanks so much for all you do.

To EV fans and fanatics everywhere,
It's Christmas, and I wanted to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season. EVs have
come a long way, but still have far to go to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels.
Despite the "big guys" taking all the credit, I don't think we would be where
we are today without many of the pioneers on the EVDL who proved that it *could* be done!
And I *still* think the pioneering spirit is needed. EVs are intrinsically
simpler and cheaper than ICEs; yet the automakers have chosen to make their EVs
even more expensive and complicated than their ICEs. That may be the way to
make luxury cars to enrich the auto companies; but it won't put the world on
electric wheels.
The world is still waiting for an affordable electric Beetle, Mini, 2CV, or Ford model A.
It may be more likely to come from a disruptive new startup than an established auto
company. Tesla already did that for luxury EVs. Who knows... as with the IBM PC, small
start-ups could well spring up drive out the big boys by building much cheaper
"clones".
In the past, I've often written little stories and poems for EVDL readers to
enjoy. Here are links to a few of them:
