I don't speak for Gail, but I don't think the problem is the C-car. I think what she really needs is support -- that is, either an EV that has a maintenance facility nearby (a Think with a good neighborhood dealer ~would have been~ perfect), or a genuine EV mechanic readily available. Unfortunately, Las Vegas has neither AFAIK. I suspect there are many other people who would drive electric if they didn't have to maintain an EV themselves. Personally I don't get that much of a kick out of working on cars, even EVs, and wish I could hire someone to do the work for me. But I have the strength, background, and experience to do the work, so I can even (if somewhat reluctantly).
