Is this a family car? The vehicle facilitates the family holiday or more generally transportation. But when the vehicle is not in transit, can it have a family benefit? Given theft in Costa rica caan we park it inside? An EV doesnt have oil issues so does it have to remain outside? Could it be assembleable for various trips. can it be addaptable to multi vehicle units for community services like school buses? Will an EV Batterypack power house lighting and utilities? and can teh house be a battery recharger given it has a predictable solar, wind and hydro charing capacity.
