[ausev] Are EV's too one dimensional?

[Mark Hastings]

If your going to hop on the bicycle to power up your
EV it would probably just be more efficient to ride
your bicycle especially if you have a conversion or
heavier EV of any kind. Based on my bicycle vrs EV
Pickup over 50 times as much so 10 minutes pedaling
gently to the store or 8 hours pedaling gently to
charge my truck to drive 3 minutes, and that store is
really close.
