    It is too hard to hunt in an electric vehicle considering there is no electricity in the North Maine Woods. EV's are not realistic for everyone - hope people realize that we don't all live in the populated areas of the state. And that a number of us have camps that are 18 miles out in the woods with no amenities.

    Electricity is produced by burning fossil fuel, especially since nuclear is rarely approved. Every time you transfer energy a portion is lost. The infrastructure for these cars is made from fossil fuel, tell me again why I should buy an electric car?
