Still going....

I'm now 2 years and 3 months into a battery pack some said wouldn't last a year and I haven't touch the electrical work since 2008. I do fill the tires with air, water the batteries (every three weeks, takes about 15 minutes) and plug it in overnight (for 6-9 hours). I take it (and two kids) every weekday to work & school (sept-may), 16-18 miles roundtrip, so that's about 5,000 miles (my odometer hasn't worked since I've had the car).

This car is so low maintenance (and so low stress because of that) at this point. Won't last another 2 years without new batteries ($1,300-$1,600), but that's what I might spend in gas and fuel anyhow in 4 years of driving a used car (if I'm lucky). It is slower on the road, lacks a/c and heat, and can only go 20-25 miles on a charge.

I've said most of this before, so given that I've nothing to report, should seem like a good thing in this case.
