Chichi and the Electric Car

It's a bird...it's a plane...it's a shiney new USAP Electric Car! We have two new toys on station. Every department will have the oppourtunity to use and test them out. They're bright cherry red with that certain spark!

Mainly, the electric vehicles will be used for running smaller, one to two person errands as the cargo limit is fairly low (1100 lbs). The batteries are underneath the car, which helps keep with stability, but they still seem like they might blow/tip over easily to me. I got to drive one during training! It definitely felt like a little clown car and didn't corner well. I only drove maybe 10-15mph but it sure felt zippy. And the soundtrack I envisioned for my little adventure was the Wicked Witch of the West theme.



Shiney and Red, here it is, one of our new Electric Cars.

Yay for sustainable energy!

And finally, the plugs, one for charging and one to keep the batteries warm.
