BAINBRIDGE ISLAND, Wash. (AP) — Byron Holcomb hasn’t sold any of his battery-powered buggies since he opened his Go Green electric car dealership in October on Bainbridge Island.
But the retired lawyer says he’s has plenty of interest at his Winslow business, and he expects customers will find the cars are ideal for island travel.
The Kitsap Sun reports there’s a problem with the first models manufactured by Bad Boy, a Diaz, Ark., company that builds heavy-duty riding lawnmowers. They have no doors. But attachable doors should be available in coming months for better protection from Puget Sound weather.
Holcomb says one advantage of the Go Green vehicle will be that golfers can play 18 holes and then drive to a store on the way home — in the same car.
