Re: aptera 150 miles per charge
"e" tests apparently stimulate a segment of Government revenue. A great deal of the cost is for the "certificate" and taxes on salaries etc. Then there is the fancy equip and an excuse to hire IT types.
Then, of course, we have to consider the entertainment value, but I really don't think it offsets the disgusting waste of productive time and fuel used in the procedure. I wonder how much gas is burned off just so that clean fuel can be used for the test?
AND since we are already off topic - I had two other vehicles (wife and son's) that needed to qualify. I had one in to-day and heard from the garage vine that our Provincial Energy Minister Norm Sterling brought a 92 Ford in for "e" testing and it failed miserably.
