This video in the post below is a real fun one. You actually get to watch racecar driver Bill Caswell drive an electric vehicle (other than a golf cart) for the first time, and get totally blown away by it. This should be included in the ads of electric vehicles. This is something companies trying to sell EVs need to tout like there ain’t nothing else worth touting.
