However, as this station will incorporate battery storage of the solar generated electricity, it may still be feasible for locations as "sun-challenged" as Seattle can be:

So, now we're talking ... a BMW Mini ALL Electric scooter !!!
Really, if you're just making a small run to the grocery store, or to mail some letters, etc., shouldn't you really be hopping on a 2 wheeled vehicle, and if it's all-electric, so much the better?!

Found a Great Motorcycle Dealer in Monroe ... a bit hard to find, but worth it
A couple of weeks back I found a great new [to me] Motorcycle Dealer
in Monroe WA. It's a bit tricky to find, but worth it, once you see their
pricing. They are called Adventure MotorSports. Their address is:
Adventure Motorsports
17321 Tye Street SE #A Monroe WA 98272
Phone: 360-805-5550 Fax: 360-805-9550
http://www.adventuremotorsports.net/default.asp
For Example they are selling a 2008 Yamaha FZ1, for $2,000 off MSRP, for just $7,290 !!! For those of you who know, this is basically a slightly detuned Yamaha YZF R1, in a naked version. That's a full $3,000 off the 2010 version, or $3,200 off the 2011 version.
See the following pictures:
They also have 2, yes 2 2009 edition, of the hard-to-find Suzuki Adventure Tourer V-Strom DL650, which is a top contender for my next motorcycle, which I will be purchasing in 2011. They have a dark grey one, and an orange one - $6,999 !
They also have a nice A2B Electric Bicycle. It'll do 20 mph for 20 miles on a charge, or a bit farther if you pedal of course !
The Adventure Motorsports key to low pricing, is low-overhead, and of course this means they are a bit off the beaten path, but hey, if you choose to biy one of their pre-paid maintenance packages [which you will be able to afford, because of their low prices], then you can spend part of a day in interesting Monroe Washinigton, when you get your bike serviced !
The key to finding them, and it doesn't jibe with what mapping sites show, is that when you get to the end of 522, at the intersection with Route 2, you TURN Right, NOT left, and then you turn left at the stop light at Fryelands Blvd, then after just a short hop, turn left at Tye St SE, they're about a 1/4 mile down on the left hand side of the road ! The owner, Scott, is a great guy, and he'll let you test ride some bikes, so don't be shy.

And for those looking to do some serious sport touring miles, how about a 2010 FJ1300 at $1,191 off MSRP, at just $13,999 !

Demystifying & De-Jargoning the SmartGrid:
Sponsor an Electric Car Charging Station from Coulomb Technologies or OpConnect
Here's a nifty way to get some free publicity for your Business, and help save the planet at the same time:
