Only problem currently is NO ONE has a plug in electric car in Minnesota that I am aware of. The Dolt is not even on sale at dealerships here.
Next time I go there in my old escort wagon I am going to run a cord out of the hatch and plug it in (nothing in the car to run, but who cares?) it’ll make um wonder.
