Great to find you and to see you are working on getting Florida going. I work with the MSEV Coalition and would like to build bridges of cooperation with you on getting MSV laws in place. Our Coalition has already submitted a petition to NTSA for federal regulations to support the state laws. It has been denied and we are organizingf for the next round. It will take lots of us working together to get this job done.
Please get in touch so we can coordinate. 310-450-7419

We have members in Florida that we can connect you with.
We would also like to build bridges with the Pickens Plan group as more vehicle than pure EVs would fit into the MSV picture.
Thanks

If we can solve the national electrical distribution problems which would allow wind power to boost our energy supply, what will it take for the next step - to make a robust enough distribution system for natural gas to replace oil?
Please checkout this website, as this is a Sun, Heat and Wind energy system in one, please give us your feedback as we try to improve it.

We have been pushing for a light rail line to move people quickly into city center, but once there it would be nice if we had a fleet of rental EVs to move riders to their final destinations.
A fleet of same type vehicles would offer personal transport at lowest per mile cost as these vehicles could be designed for easy service with interchangeable parts. Customers would be tracked with GPS and charged time and distance until vehicle gets dropped off. All other vehicles could have restricted access to downtown, and eventually be banned altogether.
Wondered if anyone was planning something like this.
Thank You
Excellent suggestion. I have located and contacted several CONA organizations.
Thanks for the suggestion
MSEVs would be ideal for seniors and many others living in or near urban areas. Much or our commuting is less than 50 miles per day and is near our homes and these vehicles would provide an ideal method of getting around.
