I grew up in England in the mid-1930s. Now I’m 84. (Wasn’t there a song about that?)

In Leicester, where I lived, we were served milk and other deliveries brought to our house on drays. I saw the transition from horsedrawn to electric drays and carriages. That’s right, electric.

Now, in my dotage, I see a new technology emerging amid fanfare and high prices: Electric vehicles.

For many years, I have ridden an electric-powered bicycle that is home-built.

I vote for electric!

Again.
