You don't ever own an electric vehicle

When my 23 year old vehicle finally gives in and it gets too expensive to repair I will be getting a side-by-side. [1] Possibly even one that is EV but no internet connections. No fondle-screen. It will cover 99% of my driving needs as I don't even leave this county any more. I see people drive their side-by-sides into town all the time, even the ones that aren't street legal and the troopers don't bat an eye. I will get the street legal version regardless.

Maybe in 10+ years if large EV trucks have options for no internet/cellular network connection and no touch screens I might get one. They have a lot of bugs to work out and competition to create.

Kei trucks are another option. People really like the Suzuki Carry with aftermarket parts. A bit cheaper than the Polaris stuff too.

Thankyou! I am currently reading up on these. I've seen a couple old ones in town. I didn't know that heating was an option in some of these that would be a big plus here.
